Mino Des Mottes
Mino Des Mottes is a 4-year-old in
Gordon Elliott's powerful Longwood yard, and while the win rate tells you this is not a top-class performer, the recent form suggests something more interesting is developing. The horse has won just 1 of its 9 races, but that single victory came at Bellewstown on 4 July, and since then it has been placed in four of its last six outings. Those numbers mean Mino Des Mottes is hitting the frame far more regularly now than earlier in its career.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The last six races paint a picture of a horse finding its feet. After finishing second, second, and third in the most recent trio of efforts, it hit a couple of tougher assignments and finished 13th twice — the kind of bump in the road that happens when a trainer stretches a developing horse up in class. But the pendulum has swung back, and with races only days apart, Elliott clearly feels the horse is ready to cash in again soon. Having raced as recently as yesterday, Mino Des Mottes is sharp and in active work at a yard that has already sent out 210 winners this season alone, so the infrastructure to find the right opportunity is there.
