Catching The Moon
Catching The Moon is a 3-year-old that has found a winning rhythm in recent weeks. The horse has won 2 of its last 6 races, including a striking success in one of the top races at Ayr on 20 September—a result that stands out when you look at the overall record of 2 wins and 3 places from 7 races (a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3.5 races). The latest outing, just a day ago, ended in fifth place, but that follows an earlier fourth-place finish, suggesting the horse is being kept busy and is actively competitive.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The two victories tell the real story. Catching The Moon opened its account at Beverley on 14 August before stepping up to win at Ayr a month later—proof that the horse can handle top-level company. Those back-to-back wins came after some earlier scrambles for a place (three finishes in the placings across the first five races), which is normal for a 3-year-old still learning its trade. The recent form chart shows a horse that is genuine at this level and capable of landing wins when everything aligns.
Richard and Peter Fahey's yard at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire has been in excellent form this season, sending out 23 winners. That kind of win rate from the stable suggests Catching The Moon is in the right hands. With two proven victories at a respectable level and a genuine win rate, this horse has shown enough to suggest there could be more to come.
