The bright spot in Purple Moon's record is a win at Gowran Park on April 9th, which remains its sole victory. Five months have passed since that success, and in the races between then and now, the horse has largely disappointed. The fourth place finish last week shows it can still run competitively on occasion, but the fourteenth-place result before that hints at the unpredictability that defines its campaign so far. This is a horse capable of winning — it has proved that — but far from reliable.
George Baker's yard at Epsom Downs has had a respectable season, sending out 14 winners, and Purple Moon remains part of that operation. Whether the trainer can unlock more consistent form from this four-year-old, or whether its one win will remain a rare high point, remains to be seen. For now, Purple Moon is a horse with flashes of ability but not yet the consistency to be counted on.
