Misemerald

The most striking detail is how recent that last win was. Misemerald won at Musselburgh just this week, on 24 August 2026, which means the horse is actively racing and adding to its tally. That victory came eight years after the first one at Beverley in June 2023, suggesting a long, working career rather than a horse that has been broken or sidelined. The form over the last six races — a win, a place, two more places with a couple of mid-field finishes — shows the horse is still competitive and still capable of running on the board.

The partnership with jockey Andrew Mullen deserves attention. Together they have won 2 from 9 races, a 22% win rate that is nearly three times better than Misemerald's overall record. That is not luck; that is a jockey who understands the horse and gets the best from it. The distance sweet spot sits between a mile and an eighth and a mile and a quarter — Misemerald has won 1 from 6 races over that range, and that win this week at Musselburgh likely came at one of those trip lengths. Most interestingly, the horse has never won in seven attempts at Class 4 level, suggesting it is a horse that finds its races at lower grade, where the quality drops and its consistency becomes an asset rather than a limitation.
