Kilmore Rock

The ground matters enormously to Kilmore Rock. On normal conditions — not too wet, not too hard — it has won 5 of 9 races, which is a 56% win rate. More than half. That is an extraordinary figure, and it essentially means that when the ground is right and the horse lines up, it is more likely to win than not. Plenty of horses have a preference; very few turn that preference into a genuine advantage quite so cleanly.

Kelso, the pretty track in the Scottish Borders, is where Kilmore Rock really comes alive. Two wins from five races there, most recently on 20 April 2026 — just two weeks ago — makes it a genuine course specialist. Tracks have their own rhythms, their own bends and gradients, and some horses simply suit certain places. Kelso clearly suits this one. The fact that it raced just one day ago and keeps coming back for more suggests a horse in excellent health and confidence.

Nathan Moscrop is usually the man in the saddle, and the numbers back that partnership up: 4 wins from 11 races together, a win rate of 36%, or just over 1 in every 3 rides. That is a strong return. Susan Corbett's yard has sent out 11 winners already this season, so this is not a one-horse operation — it is a stable in form, with its best horse in form too. Kilmore Rock got its first win at Hexham back in June 2024, and has been quietly building a record ever since. For a horse that mostly competes at the mid-level of the sport, winning 3 of 11 races at that level — and doing so consistently — marks it out as exactly the kind of dependable, competitive animal that makes northern racing worth following.
