Bayside

The career highlight to date came at Beverley on 15 April 2026, and that win tells you something useful: Bayside is most effective over the shorter distances, between five and six and a half furlongs, where it has won 1 from 3 races — a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in every 3. At a sport where plenty of horses go entire careers without finding the right conditions, a horse that already knows where it performs best at age two is ahead of the curve.

Since that Beverley win three months ago, the form figures make for interesting reading — a third, then a sixth, then a twelfth, then back to third most recently. That dip to twelfth and sixth in the middle suggests Bayside had a tricky spell, perhaps facing tougher competition or less suitable conditions, but the return to a placed finish last time out hints at a horse finding its feet again. With a race just yesterday, this is a horse firmly in the middle of its season.

Behind the scenes, Bayside is trained by Rod Millman out of Kentisbeare in Devon — not one of the big northern powerhouses, but a yard that has quietly sent out 42 winners already this season, which is a serious tally and reflects a shrewd, well-organised operation. Millman has a reputation for doing honest, patient work with young horses, and a two-year-old already showing a 20% win rate — 1 win from every 5 races — under his care is exactly the kind of early evidence that suggests there is more to come.
