Moab
Moab is a horse that has learned to live with disappointment. At six years old, the gelding has raced 24 times and won just once — a breakthrough victory at Southwell back in October 2025 that remains his only taste of success. Since then, nothing. Eleven months without a win, though he has picked up ten places to show he remains capable of finishing in the money. His recent form tells a familiar story: third, third, fourth, second, third, second in his last six outings. He is close, frustratingly close, but that elusive second victory keeps slipping away.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Henrietta C Knight at West Lockinge in Oxfordshire, Moab competes most often in Class 4 races — the lower tier of British racing — where he has managed zero wins from nine attempts. He runs best over the longer distances, 1m6f to 2m, and that stretch of track is where his single win came. Over that ground he has managed 1 win from 9 races, an 11% win rate that suggests when conditions and distance align, something clicks. Paul O'Brien has been his regular rider in recent times, though the partnership has yet to yield a victory from five rides together. Knight's yard has sent out 15 winners this season, so the stable is in decent form even if Moab himself remains stuck in neutral. He raced just yesterday and will be hunting for that second win, though by now he knows the feeling of being in contention without quite getting there.
