Little Mi Mi

Over a full career, Little Mi Mi has won 5 races from 25 attempts, which works out to a 20% win rate. That's respectable without being spectacular, and the 12 places show a horse that's consistent enough to run respectably on days when it doesn't win. The real story, though, is Newcastle. The horse absolutely dominates there, with 3 wins from 10 races at the track — that's nearly one win every three times out. That's not a fluke; that's a horse that loves the track and the conditions, and it's the kind of edge that savvy punters remember.

Iain Jardine's yard at Carrutherstown is firing this season with 57 winners already, so Little Mi Mi is in a sharp operation. Mohammed Tabti, who rides the horse most often, has managed a 40% win rate aboard — 2 wins from 5 races together — which suggests they understand each other. The horse's last win came just three weeks ago at Hamilton Park, so it's actively sharp and racing now, not gathering dust between engagements. The only slight wobble is at the very top of the class ladder: when Little Mi Mi steps up to compete at the highest level, it manages just 1 win from 8 races. But that's perfectly normal for a horse that runs mostly at lower levels and still manages to win a fifth of the time overall.
