Molly Mac

The horse performs best over shorter distances between five and six and a half furlongs, where she has managed two wins from 11 races. More notably, Molly Mac is a horse that thrives on fast, dry ground — a real strength at two wins from just seven races in those conditions (a 29 per cent win rate), which is substantially better than her overall record. This preference for firm footing is useful information: on wet or muddy ground, her chances drop considerably.

Where she struggles is at higher class levels. When stepped up to Class 6 — still the bottom rung of proper competitive racing — she has failed to win any of six attempts. This suggests her wins are coming at more modest levels, and jumping classes will remain a significant test. That said, she is only three and her winning momentum over the past two months, combined with her affinity for faster ground and shorter distances, means there is scope for her to keep improving. Racing was active just a day ago, so she remains regularly campaigned and appears to be building something.
