Vitalline
Vitalline is a horse that has figured out where it wins, and it is not everywhere. At eight years old and still racing regularly, this horse has earned four wins from 52 races—a win rate of roughly one win every 13 runs—but the headline number masks something more interesting. Vitalline performs noticeably better at cheaper race meetings and on wet ground, where it wins about one in every seven races (2 wins from 14), nearly double its overall rate. It also races best in the lower echelons of the sport, winning 4 of 31 races at Class 6 level (13%), where it belongs. Strip away the higher-profile occasions and the faster ground, and you have a horse that knows its game.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The partnership with jockey Josephine Gordon has been Vitalline's most productive relationship, with the pair combining for three wins from 26 races together—a 12% win rate, a sharp improvement on the horse's overall record. That kind of chemistry matters in racing, even at this modest level. Last won six months ago at Kempton Park in March 2026, Vitalline has gone winless in its last six races, most recently finishing second and ninth in back-to-back starts. The recent form is a reminder that having a pattern—loving slow ground, excelling at Class 6—only works if the horse stays fit and in the right kind of race. Trainer Keiran Burke, based at Whitcombe in Dorset, has managed a solid season and keeps Vitalline race-ready, evidenced by its appearance just a day ago. For a horse of this age still turning up, the ground forecast and the race class matter far more than the name on the card.
