Monvoe

Across 14 races in total, Monvoe has won 3 times and finished in the places 6 more times — a win rate of around 21%, or roughly 1 in every 5 races. That is a solid record for any horse, but the recent stretch is what really catches the eye. In the last 6 races, Monvoe has won 3 of them and finished second in the other two that were not a win — a sequence of 9th, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 2nd reading from most recent backwards. The 9th looks like an outlier against a run of form that is otherwise almost relentlessly consistent.

The first win came at Limerick on 25 April 2026, which is when things appeared to click. Limerick then became the scene of the most recent victory too, on 10 June — just three weeks ago, with the horse having raced again only yesterday. That kind of busy schedule, and the fact the horse keeps finishing first or second through it, suggests Monvoe is thriving right now rather than being stretched.

The distance picture is equally striking. Over a mile and a furlong to a mile and two furlongs, Monvoe has won 3 races from just 7 attempts — a win rate of 43%, or nearly 1 in every 2 races at those trips. To put that in context: winning nearly half your races at a specific distance is not a quirk of the draw or a lucky afternoon. It is a pattern, and it tells you that when the yard find a race at that range, this horse is going to be very hard to beat.

Cody's yard has sent out 6 winners already this season, which for a smaller operation in Kilkenny is meaningful — these are not horses being sent out to make up the numbers. Monvoe, with its sharp recent form and clear preference for a particular distance, looks like the standard-bearer of that group right now.
