Moltophino
Moltophino is a five-year-old that has found racing fiercely difficult. In 26 races, the horse has managed just one win and eight places — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 25 races. That solitary victory came at The Curragh on 23 May 2025, and it remains the highlight of an otherwise frustrating career. Worse, Moltophino has now gone 15 months without another win, losing ground steadily over the last six races with a run of second-best finishes that includes placings but no victories.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The partnership between Moltophino and jockey Chris Hayes offers a glimmer of hope. Hayes has ridden the horse six times and won once — a 17% win rate together — which is significantly better than the horse's overall record. That single win came when Hayes was in the saddle, suggesting there may be a combination that works. Trainer John Andrew Kinsella, based at Rathdrum in County Wicklow, has saddled five winners this season, so the yard is capable, though Moltophino itself remains a project rather than a prospect.
The horse raced just a day ago, so it is still active and competing. Whether Moltophino can build on its sole victory and find another win remains to be seen, but the long drought since that May day at The Curragh suggests the challenges ahead are real.
