His last seven weeks tell the fuller story. He last won at Fairyhouse on 12 June, and since then has run five times — one second place, two fifth-place finishes, and a seventh. These are not embarrassing results for a horse still active at his age, but they suggest he may have been running a touch out of form or against stiffer competition. Before that Fairyhouse victory, though, he had a first and two second-place finishes in four races, meaning he was genuinely sharp not long ago. He raced just yesterday, so he is clearly a horse his the yard still believe in and are still actively campaigning.
Night Moon races for W P Mullins, a trainer based at Muine Bheag in County Carlow whose yard has sent out 215 winners already this season — a reminder that he has the infrastructure and expertise to get the best from his horses. Night Moon's first career win came at Listowel in September 2023, and he has been racing consistently ever since. For a horse with only two wins in 15 attempts, his placement record — six times in the money alongside those two victories — suggests he often runs close enough to win. He is not a front-runner, but at the right distance and in a suitable race, he knows how to get his head in front.
