Intellotto

Trained by Daisy Hitchins out of her yard in Sherborne, Dorset, Intellotto is part of a team that has sent out 13 winners already this season — a healthy return that suggests Hitchins knows how to have a horse ready to run. The partnership with jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle has produced 1 win from 5 races together, a 20% win rate that mirrors the horse's overall career average almost exactly. They clearly understand each other, even if the big results have been elusive of late.

And "of late" is doing some work there. Intellotto has not won in its last six races, with recent finishes of 3rd, 3rd, 27th, 4th, 19th, and 7th — a sequence that tells a mixed story. Those two third-place efforts show the horse is not disgraced, but the 27th and 19th hint at days when things simply did not click. The last win came at Limerick in May 2025, now eleven months ago, and the first career win arrived at Leopardstown on 27 December 2023. Both Irish tracks, both suggesting this horse travels and competes at a decent level.

Currently active and racing right now, the question everyone following Intellotto will be asking is simple: when does the rain arrive? Because on soft and muddy ground, this horse has been close to unbeatable. With Hitchins sending out winners at a steady clip and the horse clearly still competitive — those back-to-back third places are no disgrace — there is every reason to think a fifth career win is not far away. Just watch the weather.
