Mino Des Mottes
Mino Des Mottes is a 4-year-old in the steady company of
Gordon Elliott's powerful Longwood yard, where he is one of 210 winners trained this season. With a career record of 1 win from 11 races, he wins roughly one in every eleven outings — a modest win rate, but what matters more is what he does between victories.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
His form over the last six races tells a different story. Running second, third, and second again in recent months shows he is regularly competitive, finishing in the frame in five of his last six races. That consistency speaks to a horse who knows how to run a race, even if the win column has remained blank since July when he won at Bellewstown three months ago. The fact that he is still actively racing — having run just a day ago — suggests the yard believes he can get back to the winner's circle soon. For a horse at this modest level of the sport, staying sharp and race-fit is half the battle, and Elliott's operation does not keep horses in work unless they have something to offer. Mino Des Mottes may not be a headline-grabber, but he is a reliable performer who earns his keep through regular placing performances.
