What makes Catching The Moon interesting is precisely this split personality. The horse clearly has the ability to win big races—that Class 1 success at Ayr proves it—and the first career win at Beverley earlier that summer (14 August 2025) suggested an upward trajectory. Two wins from the last six races is respectable form in isolation, but the pattern since Ayr is troubling. The string of poor finishes, including two well-beaten runs back in the field, hints at something having gone wrong, whether physical setback, a change in ground conditions, or simply a loss of form. The trainer, Richard & Peter Fahey, runs a productive yard at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire with 23 winners sent out this season, so there is no shortage of expertise on hand.
The horse raced just yesterday, so it remains active and in work. Whether Catching The Moon can rediscover the form that produced that Class 1 win remains to be seen, but the record shows this is a horse capable of it when everything clicks.
