Parikarma
Parikarma is a nine-year-old that has won 5 races from 47 outings — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 10 races. That's not a horse pulling up trees, but it has stayed sound and competitive for long enough to rack up a decent prize money haul. The latest run came just yesterday, a seventh-place finish that continues a dry spell stretching back half a year. In the last six races, Parikarma has picked up a couple of placed finishes but nothing better, and it has not visited the winner's circle since 25 June 2024 at Newton Abbot — more than two years now.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The real story here is finding the sweet spot. Parikarma thrives on normal ground and shows a marked preference for races over middle distances, particularly around 1m1f to 1m2f, where it has won 2 of 7 races (29%). That is well above average, suggesting the horse runs better when given a bit of space and time to find its rhythm. On normal ground, the win rate climbs to 20% — 2 wins from 10 races — which again points to a horse that prefers standard conditions over heavy going or very firm tracks. Samuel Drinkwater trains from Strensham in Worcestershire, and the yard is having a decent season with 8 winners so far. Imogen Mathias has been the regular rider, partnering Parikarma 12 times for 1 win, but the partnership has not clicked consistently. At nine years old, Parikarma is approaching the veteran stage of its career, though still active and still capable of picking up races at lower levels if the conditions and distance line up right.
