Bust A Moon
Bust A Moon broke its duck at Beverley back in May 2025, but that single victory now feels like a distant memory. The four-year-old has raced 22 times in total and won just once — a win rate that tells you this is a horse firmly in the middle ranks, grinding away week after week without much success. Since that breakthrough win fifteen months ago, it has come nowhere near the winner's circle, finishing third three times in its last six outings but mostly languishing outside the frame entirely. With seven places to its name alongside that single win, there are occasional glimpses of respectability, but Bust A Moon is the sort of horse you back more out of hope than conviction.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Derek Shaw's yard at Sproxton has saddled six winners this season, but Bust A Moon is not flying the flag. Charlie Bennett, who rides it most often, has tried six times without a win, which suggests the partnership — or the horse itself — lacks that extra gear needed at this level. Bust A Moon typically runs in lower-tier races, where it has won 1 from 15 attempts, a win rate of roughly 7 percent. The fact it raced just yesterday shows it is still active and being campaigned, even if the results have dried up completely. This is a trier rather than a talent, the sort of horse that keeps showing up because there is work to be done and small targets to chase, but for punters and fans alike, finding reasons to back it has become an increasingly tough task.
