Lunar Orbit
Lunar Orbit has been a classic example of a horse that tries hard but struggles to find the winner's circle. The four-year-old has had fourteen races and managed just one victory, coming nine months ago at Market Rasen on December 4th, 2025. That single win sits alongside seven placed finishes, giving him a win rate of roughly 1 in every 14 races—numbers that tell you this is a horse operating at a modest level, the kind that keeps its trainer and the yard hopeful rather than excited.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes Lunar Orbit interesting is that he shows a clear preference for longer distances. Over races of two miles and beyond, he has won 1 out of 6 attempts, a 17% win rate that is noticeably sharper than his overall record. That suggests he finds his rhythm in stamina races rather than speed tests—something Dan Skelton's yard at Alcester, which has already sent out 198 winners this season, will almost certainly be exploiting. Most of Lunar Orbit's racing has come in Class 4 events, mid-tier competitions, where he has managed 1 win from 12 races.
Recent form offers a mixed picture. In his last six runs, he has picked up a couple of placings (a second and a third) but has also finished fifth and third in other attempts. He raced just a day ago, so Lunar Orbit remains an active runner, still looking for that second career victory that might suggest he is on an upward curve rather than simply making up the numbers in modest fields.
