Mortubo

The early part of Mortubo's career was rocky. Finishing sixth, seventh, and fifth in three consecutive races, things looked uncertain. But the most recent three runs show a horse that has found its feet fast — a fourth, then a runner-up, and then a win. That kind of upward curve is exactly what owners and trainers hope to see, and it suggests the penny has dropped for this young horse.

That win came at Bath on 5 June 2026, just two weeks ago, and Mortubo was back out racing again just yesterday — so this is a horse being kept busy while confidence is high. Bath is a tight, undulating track that suits certain horses far better than others, and getting off the mark there is a legitimate achievement. The fact that Mortubo had previously drawn a blank in three races at the level it usually competes at makes that breakthrough feel more meaningful, not less. Sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes.

Behind the horse is the yard of Gary and Josh Moore, based in Lower Beeding in West Sussex. The Moores have sent out 99 winners already this season — a number that signals a stable operating with real momentum. Having nearly 100 winners in a season means horses are being placed smartly, fit at the right time, and sent to the right races. Mortubo landing a win in that context is not a fluke; it is the product of a team that knows what it is doing.

At three years old, with form that is clearly improving and a yard full of confidence behind it, Mortubo is a horse worth watching over the weeks ahead.
