Havana Mojito

The conditions matter too. On fast, dry ground, Havana Mojito wins 2 from 11 races (around 1 in 5), suggesting the horse hits its best form when the surface is quick underfoot. Brighton in summer tends to provide exactly that, which probably explains why the wins have clustered there. The most recent came on 21 May 2025 — just over twelve months ago — and the first was on 18 June 2024, so the pattern of finding form at that track in the warmer months is consistent and worth noting.

The partnership with jockey Darragh Keenan is the other thread worth pulling on. Together they have won 3 from 11 races — that is 27%, or roughly 1 in every 4 times they team up — which is comfortably above Havana Mojito's overall win rate. All three career victories have come in that combination, which says something clear: when Keenan is booked, pay attention.

Gallagher's yard has sent out 8 winners this season, suggesting a yard in decent form. Havana Mojito races predominantly at Class 6, the entry level of British racing, and has won 3 from 15 races at that level — 1 in 5 — which is where this horse belongs and where it competes most effectively. The last six runs show no win and include a couple of disappointing efforts, but the horse raced just yesterday and remains active. The record says: wait for Brighton, wait for dry ground, wait for Keenan, and this horse has a habit of delivering.
