Marnier

The horse broke through at Lingfield Park on 4 November 2025, then went eight months without another success before winning again at Sandown Park on 3 July 2026—a pattern that speaks to the difficulty of getting him to the line when it matters. More telling is his recent form: from his last six races, he has finished out of the placings twice, with a sole win and a pair of third-place efforts in between. That scattered recent record, especially the two blanks, hints at a horse whose form is fragile and whose the yard face an uphill task keeping him competitive.

Robert Havlin has partnered Marnier nine times, winning once—an 11% win rate that is actually below the horse's overall record, suggesting the partnership hasn't quite clicked. Marnier is trained by Gary and Josh Moore at Lower Beeding in West Sussex, a yard that has sent out 99 winners this season and clearly knows how to get horses ready. The fact that Marnier races for such a capable operation yet remains a modest performer at best speaks to his limitations rather than any lack of support. With his last win now eight weeks in the past and recent form patchy, he needs to find his feet again quickly if he is to justify the investment in his racing career.
