Luna Run

That one career win came at Taunton on 23 April 2025, and it remains the highlight of the CV. Class 5 is the level where Luna Run operates — these are the bread-and-butter races at the bottom end of the sport, where the competition is modest and a win is genuinely achievable on the right day. Yet even at that level, the record reads 1 win from 13 races, or roughly 1 in every 13 attempts, which suggests conditions need to fall perfectly for this horse to get its head in front.

Isabel Williams has been the regular partner, riding Luna Run in 13 of those 17 races. They have won together once — the Taunton victory — giving them a win rate of around 1 in 13, which mirrors the horse's overall profile pretty faithfully. It is a partnership built on familiarity rather than fireworks. The yard behind the operation is Harry Derham's operation at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, which has sent out 53 winners this season — a genuinely productive outfit. That the team persists with Luna Run speaks to the fact that even reliable, lower-level horses have a role to play in a busy racing stable.

What stands out in the recent form is that Luna Run has not won in its last six races, and the most recent finishes — sixth, third, seventh, third, fifth — are a mixed picture with no clear upward curve. The third-place efforts show the ability is still there on occasion, but a seventh suggests some below-par days too. Still, the horse raced just yesterday, which means the yard are keeping it active and looking for that elusive next opportunity. For Luna Run, the goal is simple: find a race like Taunton last April, where everything clicked, and do it again.
