Big Mojo
Big Mojo is a horse that knows how to show up when it matters. The 4-year-old has won three of its 15 career races—a win rate of one in every five—but here's what catches the eye: two of those three wins came in top-level Class 1 races at Ascot and Goodwood, proving it can mix it with the best. That first Goodwood victory in July 2024 opened the door, and the horse has kept finding the frame ever since, with seven places alongside those three wins. Most impressive is that Big Mojo wins roughly three times out of every ten when stepping up to Class 1 company, a win rate that shows genuine class.Based on TrackLab's analysis
📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse thrives on fast, dry ground—winning two of its six races on those conditions, a 33% win rate that's well above its overall average. Recent form has been patchy: a win at Haydock just over a year ago, followed by a string of mid-field finishes, before bouncing back to third place in its most recent outing a day ago. That inconsistency is the puzzle with Big Mojo. It has the talent to beat top-class opposition, yet can't always deliver it on the day. Michael Appleby's yard at Oakham has been firing this season with 71 winners, so the training is solid. Tom Marquand has partnered the horse five times, winning once—a partnership that mirrors the horse's broader pattern of flashes of brilliance surrounded by ordinary runs. The key to Big Mojo is finding it the right race on the right ground, when everything clicks into place.
