Mortubo

What makes the situation interesting is the yard behind it. Gary and Josh Moore, operating out of Lower Beeding in West Sussex, have sent out 99 winners already this season — that is a serious operation by any measure, and not the sort of team that wastes time on horses they have given up on. Mortubo raced just yesterday, which tells you the team are actively searching for the right opportunity to get this horse off the mark.

The bulk of its racing has come at Class 4 level — solid, competitive races that sit in the middle tier of British racing. Zero wins from three outings there suggests it has not yet found the right conditions or the right race to show what it can do. At three years old, there is still time. Plenty of horses take half a season or more to figure things out, and with a yard firing on all cylinders behind it, Mortubo will keep getting chances.
