Havana Mojito
Havana Mojito is a horse that has found its level, which is precisely at Brighton. The five-year-old has won three of its fifteen races at the Sussex track—a win rate of one in five—which is significantly better than its overall record of three victories from thirty races across all courses. That 10% win rate tells you this is a horse that knows how to win, but only sporadically; it also places regularly, finishing in the top three in eleven of those thirty races, which suggests it is competitive and rarely disgraced, even when not winning. The real story, though, is Brighton. Havana Mojito is one of those horses that simply suits the track, its turns, or the type of racing it demands, and that is the kind of insight that makes it interesting to follow.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's most recent win came at Brighton on 21 May 2025, which means it has now gone fifteen months without another victory despite remaining active—it raced just a day ago and finished sixth. That is a long dry spell, and the last six races tell a stark tale: a sixth, then four consecutive second-place finishes, then another sixth. Those seconds suggest Havana Mojito is still competitive and still running well, but something is missing when it comes to the final furlong. It typically races in Class 6, the lower grade, where it has managed wins in three of fifteen attempts.
The horse benefits from jockey Darragh Keenan, who has ridden it to victory in three of eleven races together—a 27% win rate that is considerably better than Havana Mojito's win rate overall. Trainer John Gallagher, based at Chastleton in Oxfordshire, has a yard sending out eight winners this season. For anyone watching Havana Mojito, the obvious play is to follow its form at Brighton and hope that the turn of the track might yet unlock another victory after this extended absence from the winner's circle.
