Mooretown Lad
There is something quietly stubborn about Mooretown Lad that keeps him turning up at the track. The six-year-old has raced 20 times in his career and has just one win to show for it — that came at Leopardstown back in August 2024, now 21 months ago. Since then, he has gone six races without troubling the winner's enclosure, and his recent form — a string of fourth and seventh-place finishes — suggests he is doing just enough to stay competitive without quite finding that extra gear when it matters.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That single win is worth dwelling on, though. Leopardstown is one of Ireland's most prestigious venues, and landing a race there means Mooretown Lad has at least proven he can find the line first on the right day. The problem is that day has not come again. A 5% win rate — one win from 20 races — is modest by any measure, and his record at the level he typically competes at makes for uncomfortable reading: three races at that grade, zero wins.
His most regular jockey is Colin Keane, who has ridden him five times and won once — a 1-in-5 record together that actually represents the best version of Mooretown Lad. Adrian Wintle, who trains him from his yard in Westbury-on-Severn in Gloucestershire, has had a solid season with 30 winners sent out, so the operation around this horse is clearly capable. Whether Mooretown Lad can tap into that form is another question. He raced just yesterday, which tells you he is fit and busy — but busy without winning is a hard habit to break.
