My Old Mate

There is something refreshing about a horse that keeps turning up. My Old Mate has run seven times this season and, while results have been mixed — a couple of quiet runs in the middle of that sequence where double-digit finishes suggested things weren't clicking — the three-year-old has clearly found some form at exactly the right moment. That recent 1-2 at the top of the form figures tells its own story: back-to-back visits to the winner's enclosure and the podium, just days apart.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The win came at Windsor on 27 June 2026, and given that My Old Mate raced again just yesterday, this is a horse being kept very busy right now. With one win and two placed efforts from seven races — winning roughly 1 in every 7 outings, or 14% of the time — the overall record is modest, but form in sport is everything, and right now the momentum is pointing firmly in the right direction.

Behind the horse is the yard of Gary and Josh Moore, based in Lower Beeding in West Sussex. The father-and-son training partnership has been in serious form this season, sending out 99 winners — a number that speaks to an operation firing on all cylinders. When a stable is producing that kind of volume, the horses in their care tend to be well-placed and well-prepared, which makes My Old Mate's recent purple patch feel less like a fluke and more like good management paying off.

Still only three years old, My Old Mate has time on its side. The rough edges visible in those mid-season struggles — those finishes of eighth, ninth, and eleventh — look increasingly like a young horse finding its feet rather than a permanent ceiling. Whatever the Moore team adjusted, it appears to be working.
