Westminster Moon
Westminster Moon broke through after a long search for the winning post, finally getting his head in front at The Curragh back in May. The 6-year-old has managed just that single victory from 12 races across his career, a win rate that tells you this is a horse who finds winning difficult. But there is something worth watching here: when the distances stretch out past a mile and a half, his record shifts markedly. Over 1m6f to 2m, he has won 1 of his 3 races — a 33% win rate that represents genuine form at his optimal trip. That win at The Curragh came on his third attempt at those longer distances, suggesting he suits the galloping game when conditions and company align.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Four months have passed since that May victory, and his recent form shows the familiar pattern of a horse chasing rather than arriving. His last six races read 10-4-13-13-1-7, with the sole bright spot a fourth place just over a week ago. He is still actively campaigned by trainer A J Martin at Summerhill in County Meath, a yard that has produced 13 winners this season, so the yard are continuing to find races they think suit him. The profile is that of a genuine plodder — honest enough to have earned a place finish alongside his win, but not a natural racehorse. What keeps Westminster Moon interesting is that narrow sweet spot at the longer distances. Find him a race over 1m6f to 2m on a day when the form clicks, and there is every chance he could give another account of himself.
