Molto Amichi

Molto Amichi has had a tough time of it. In 18 races, the five-year-old has managed just one win and eight places — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 17 races. That win came at Killarney on 13 July 2026, and hasn't been followed by another in the two months since, though the horse has picked up a couple of minor placings along the way to suggest there is still something there to work with.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The recent form tells a story of inconsistency. Over the last six races, Molto Amichi has run 14th, 7th, 9th, 1st, 2nd, and 9th — so a promising run into second place followed by two more struggles. The horse seems to find its best form at distances between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, though even at those trips the numbers are thin: just that single win from 12 attempts (around 8 per cent). Trainer Eoin Griffin, based at Slieverue in County Kilkenny, has been working with the horse throughout, and his yard has sent out eight winners this season, which shows the trainer knows how to get results elsewhere.

Colin Keane has ridden Molto Amichi five times without recording a win, though that's a small sample. The horse raced just yesterday, so it remains active and in work. For a horse at this level — with modest winning form but capable of placing regularly — the challenge now is finding the right race and conditions to spark another victory before the form slides further away.
