That one career win came at Leopardstown in August 2024, which is now nearly two years ago, and it remains the sole highlight on an otherwise modest CV. Leopardstown is one of Ireland's most prestigious tracks, so getting off the mark there is no small thing — but a horse still searching for a second win nearly two years on suggests that day may have represented a career peak rather than a springboard.
He is trained by A Wintle, a yard based in Westbury-on-Severn in Gloucestershire that has sent out 30 winners this season, so the operation clearly knows how to get horses to win. His most regular partner in the saddle is Colin Keane, and the pair have a reasonable record together — 1 win from 5 races, meaning Keane has been aboard for every single win this horse has ever had. That's a 20% win rate when Keane rides, which is significantly better than Mooretown Lad's overall record suggests, though the sample size is small enough to treat with caution.
He raced just yesterday, so he is very much still active and in work. The puzzle for the team now is finding the conditions and the race that let him reproduce that Leopardstown form — because somewhere in there, clearly, there is a horse that can win.
