Bay of Myths
The colt showed promise early with a breakthrough victory at Chelmsford on 7 March, but has managed only two top-3 finishes in the eight months since. His recent form tells a familiar story of a young horse finding his feet: a win, then a fourth-place finish, followed by a third, a fourth again, a second, and most recently a sixth. That's the kind of up-and-down record you see in horses who haven't yet worked out what they're good at.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
There is, however, a pattern worth watching. Bay of Myths appears to come alive over the middle distances between one mile three furlongs and one mile four furlongs, winning one in three races at that trip. His sole victory came over the latter of those distances at Chelmsford, which raises the question whether he might be better suited to staying at that course and distance where he has already proved he can win. With only six races under his belt, there is still time for him to develop, but the clock is ticking. At three years old, horses either begin to show genuine form or the window for improvement starts to close. Bay of Myths needs to find the consistency that will allow him to string wins together. So far, he has not managed it.
