Johnny Moonshine

Johnny Moonshine is a five-year-old who has yet to break into the winner's circle across five races so far. The horse's recent form shows a scattering of mid-field finishes—a fourth place, followed by a sixth, then three consecutive fourths—suggesting it is competitive enough to stay near the action but not quite sharp enough to close out a win. With his last race just a day ago, Johnny Moonshine is clearly being kept active by trainer Donald McCain, whose yard at Cholmondeley in Cheshire has already sent out 55 winners this season. That kind of win rate suggests McCain knows how to train a winner, so if Johnny Moonshine does find the breakthrough, it will be worth noticing.
