Raging Raj
Raging Raj is a 3-year-old with genuine pace over a mile or so, and
Michael Herrington's Willoughton yard has found the formula to get the best out of him. The horse has won 4 of his 13 races — a 31% win rate — which is respectable, but the real story sits in the detail. At distances between 7 furlongs and a mile, Raging Raj is a different proposition entirely, winning 3 of his 6 races at that trip (50%), and when stepped down to Class 6 company — the kind of race where a young horse can build confidence — he has won 2 of 3 (67%). That is genuine form at his level.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse raced just yesterday and won, taking a race at Thirsk this week in what looks like a sharp upturn in form. His recent six races tell the story of a horse settling into its stride: he won, then finished fifth, came back with a place, a third, then sixth and seventh before bouncing back with a victory. Two wins in his last six outings suggests he is finding his rhythm. His first career win came at Kempton Park in November 2025, and he has been creeping up through the ranks ever since. With Herrington's yard having sent out 33 winners already this season, Raging Raj is part of a stable clearly in form, and the timing of yesterday's win — just as the horse turns in good recent form at the right distance and class — makes him a horse worth watching in the weeks ahead.
