Nammos

John and Rhys Flint, who train out of Kenfig Hill in Bridgend, took Nammos on after she had already been through a handful of different yards. When John Flint first saw her run for his stable at Doncaster in the summer of 2024, he was encouraged — she ran well under a positive ride and was not beaten by much. His assessment was straightforward: she was a lovely-natured horse, and he was confident of getting a win out of her. He was right. Her first win for the yard came at Chelmsford on 31 August 2024, and she has since added two more. The Flints have sent out seven winners this season, and Nammos is one of them.

Chelmsford is worth paying attention to here. She has won twice there from six races — a 33% win rate at a single track is the kind of number that makes any racing fan sit up. For context, most horses win roughly 1 in 10 races across their careers, so winning 1 in 3 at a specific venue is genuinely unusual. It suggests the track suits her in a way that is hard to fully explain but impossible to ignore. At her most common level of competition, Class 5 races — the workaday, bread-and-butter end of the sport — she has won just 1 from 12, which tells you she can be hard to win with. But when conditions click, she delivers.

Jockey Jonny Peate has been a key part of that. Together they have won 2 of their 6 races, a partnership that wins 1 in 3 times — well above her overall average. Recent form of a win, a second, and a sixth in her last three runs paints the picture of a horse coming into form at exactly the right moment.
