Moon Chime

Moon Chime is an eight-year-old with the kind of form that keeps a trainer smiling. With eight wins from 21 races, this horse has found the winners' enclosure at better than one in every three attempts — a respectable win rate for a horse competing mostly at Class 4 level. The partnership of David Killahena and Graeme McPherson, training from Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire, has built a season of 18 winners, and Moon Chime remains an active part of that story. The horse last raced just a day ago and shows recent form that suggests it still has plenty to offer.Based on TrackLab's analysis

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

What stands out is Moon Chime's recent run. It has won three of its last six races, most recently taking a victory at York five weeks ago on 6 September. That kind of hot streak — winning 50% of races over a short spell — is exactly the form that tempts the yard to keep running the horse. The last half-dozen outings tell a story of consistency mixed with class: wins, a fourth place, a sixth place, then back to two wins. At Class 4 level specifically, the horse has won two from six attempts, which amounts to roughly one win in every three races at that grade.

Moon Chime's career began on 8 May 2023 with a victory at Worcester, and the eight-year-old has been a steady operator ever since. Horses that hold a 38% win rate across 21 races are typically reliable, honest performers — the kind that show up ready to run. The Yorkshire victory five weeks ago suggests there is more racing left to come, and with a yard sending out winners at a decent clip this season, Moon Chime looks like a horse worth keeping an eye on.
