Mount Shenshan

At eight years old and with 22 races behind him, Mount Shenshan is the kind of horse that keeps turning up without quite delivering. One win from 22 races — that's roughly 1 in every 22 outings — tells a story of a horse that has spent most of its career just off the pace. Five placed finishes show he's competitive enough to be in the mix, but converting that into victories has been a rare event.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That one career win came at Clonmel in February 2025, and it remains the only time Mount Shenshan has reached the winner's enclosure. It happened just over 14 months ago, and the six races since have produced nothing better than a second place. His recent form reads 4, pulled up twice, 7, 6, and 2 — a mixed picture that suggests he can find his way into contention on a good day but can also have a very quiet afternoon. The two pull-ups are worth noting; they're not just bad results, they mean he didn't finish at all.

The most interesting relationship in his record is with jockey Danny Mullins, who has ridden him eight times without a win. That's a long run together without reward, and it's the kind of statistic that starts to feel like more than bad luck. Thomas Mullins trains him from Goresbridge in County Kilkenny — a yard that has sent out two winners so far this season, so it's not a operation firing on all cylinders right now either.

Mount Shenshan raced just three days ago, which means he's being kept busy and the team clearly haven't given up on finding another moment like that February afternoon at Clonmel. At his age and with his record, the window for that may be narrowing — but he's still out there trying.
