I Am The Moon

At seven years old, I Am The Moon is the kind of horse that keeps the yard — sorry, keeps the yard — quietly optimistic. Two wins from 16 races is a 12% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 8 attempts, which is modest enough on paper. But look a little closer and there are reasons to think the best may not be behind this one yet.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The most recent form tells an encouraging story. Reading right to left — a win, then a blank, then two fourth-place finishes, then a second, then a fourth — that sequence suggests a horse that found a gear in February and has been knocking on the door since. The win at Doncaster on 5 February 2026 is the most recent peak, and racing five months on from it, the horse is clearly still in training and still competitive.

Where I Am The Moon really earns its keep is at Class 4 level — the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, a step below the big occasions but where plenty of careers are made. Two wins from just 8 races at that level gives a 25% win rate, meaning the horse wins 1 in every 4 races it contests there. That is a genuinely solid number, and it suggests the yard knows exactly where this horse belongs and has placed it accordingly.

The partnership with Sam Twiston-Davies — son of one of the two trainers — adds a layer of continuity that matters in racing. Six rides together, one win, a 17% win rate or just under 1 in 6. That is not electrifying, but it reflects the horse's overall profile: placed more often than it wins, reliable rather than brilliant. The yard at Naunton, run by Nigel and Willy Twiston-Davies, has sent out 62 winners this season, so this is a busy and capable operation. I Am The Moon is not the stable star, but in a yard that size, being a consistent contributor at your level is a respectable role.

The first career win came at Warwick in January 2025, which means this horse was five before it tasted victory — a reminder that some take time to find their feet. A second win followed 12 months later at Doncaster. Slow to arrive, but arriving. The question now is whether a third is around the corner.
