Mae Amor

What stands out is the horse's strong preference for Wolverhampton, where it has won twice from four races there—a 50% win rate that marks the track as a genuine happy hunting ground. That first career win came at Wolverhampton on 18 November 2024, and the yard has clearly identified it as the right stage for this horse. The picture becomes clearer when you look at ground conditions: Mae Amor has won twice from eight races on normal ground (25%), suggesting the horse runs better when the track is neither soft nor firm. The trainer Rebecca Menzies, based at Morden in Durham, runs a prolific operation that has sent out 36 winners this season, so the yard is clearly doing its job.

The puzzle is the Class 4 record: just one win from 12 races at that level, an 8% win rate that reveals why Mae Amor has struggled to build momentum. Most of the horse's recent racing has been at that grade, which is clearly a step too far in quality. With David Nolan as the primary rider—one win from five races together, a 20% win rate—there is at least a jockey who knows the horse and produces a better result than the bare average. Mae Amor will need to drop back into easier company and find soft ground at a course where it has already won to spark another winning run.
