Moon Chime

Moon Chime got off the mark at Worcester back in May 2023 and has clearly gone from strength to strength since. The most recent win came at Kempton Park just this week, and the last six races — finishing 3rd, 6th, 9th, 4th, 1st, 1st reading from oldest to most recent — tell an encouraging story. A dip through the middle of that sequence, including a ninth and a sixth, makes the back-to-back wins at the end feel all the more satisfying. This isn't a horse that drifts off the radar; it finds a way back.

The team behind Moon Chime are David Killahena and Graeme McPherson, operating out of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire. With 18 winners sent out already this season, this is a yard in good form, and Moon Chime looks like one of their reliable performers. At the level Moon Chime typically competes — not the top tier, but solid, competitive racing — the horse has won 2 from 6, or roughly 1 in 3, which is a healthy return. For context, plenty of horses at this level are happy to finish mid-pack and collect minor prize money; winning a third of your races here is the mark of a consistent, quality performer.

Still active at eight, still winning this week — Moon Chime is exactly the kind of horse a racing fan learns to look out for.
