Marnier

The wins tell the more interesting story. Marnier broke through first at Lingfield Park in early November 2025, then struck again at Sandown Park in early July this year — but that second win now sits three months in the rear-view mirror. Over the last six races, the results have been thin: 11th, 6th, 6th, 1st, 3rd, and 6th. That 1st was the Sandown victory; everything either side of it has been ordinary. Just raced yesterday and remains active on the circuit, so the yard are still looking for another winning opportunity.

The real shape of Marnier emerges at middle distances. Over 1 mile 6 furlongs to 2 miles, the horse wins roughly 1 in every 3 races — 2 wins from 7 attempts, a 29% win rate. Step outside that range and form drops away sharply. Paired with jockey Robert Havlin, Marnier has managed just one win from nine races together (11%), suggesting the partnership is steady but not obviously special. The Moore yard, based in West Sussex, is in fine fettle with 99 winners sent out this season, so it is certainly a place where decent horses can thrive — yet Marnier remains trapped at the fringes of their operation, a horse with a win or two but not yet one the stable would back heavily on any given day.
