Mammies Boy

Nick Scholfield trains Mammies Boy out of Lambourn in Berkshire, a village that has been the heartbeat of British racing for generations. Scholfield's yard has sent out 22 winners this season, so this is a stable in decent form, and Mammies Boy has contributed to that tally. His most recent win came at Warwick in May 2025, which was 13 months ago now — a gap that will be on everyone's mind as he continues racing. The first career win arrived at Taunton in February 2024, so he found his feet relatively late and has taken his time building a record.

The ground tells an interesting story. On normal conditions Mammies Boy has won 3 of his 10 races — 30%, or nearly 1 in 3 — which is a meaningfully better return than his overall average. That is the kind of stat that matters to people following a horse closely: when the track is playing fair, this horse performs. Put him on wet or muddy ground and the picture is less clear.

Jonjo O'Neill Jr has been in the saddle for 8 of the 16 career races, winning just 1 of them — around 1 in 8. That is a modest return from a partnership that has clearly been given plenty of chances to click. Most of Mammies Boy's racing has come at Class 4 level, the solid middle ground of British racing, where he has won 1 from 7 — roughly 1 in 7. Nothing flashy, but he is competing at an appropriate level and still placing regularly enough to suggest there could be another win in him. Recent form of a third and a win in his last six runs means he heads into his next race in reasonable shape.
