Letos

That one win came at Naas in November 2025, and the recent form suggests Letos has been building towards something. Reading the last six runs in order — a win, then second, then a blank, then tenth, then two fourth-place finishes — might look like a horse going backwards if you read it the wrong way around. But flip it the right way: Letos has gone from finishing fourth, to fourth, to second, to winning. That is a horse improving, and it is worth paying attention to.

Danny Mullins has been in the saddle for six of those nine races, winning once from those six together — a win rate of roughly 1 in 6, or about 17%. That kind of regular partnership tends to mean the jockey knows the horse well, understands how it wants to be ridden, and that familiarity often matters more than the numbers suggest. The trainer, Anthony Mullins, operates out of Gowran in Co Kilkenny and has had nine winners on the board this season — a yard in decent form.

Letos raced just one day ago, which means this is a horse right in the middle of an active campaign. For a six-year-old with one career win to its name, the fact that it is being kept busy and is clearly improving suggests the team believes there is more to come. Whether that November win at Naas turns out to be a breakthrough moment or just a one-off remains to be seen — but the trajectory heading into it was encouraging, and that is the kind of thing worth watching.
