The most telling statistic is what the ground does for him. On wet or muddy conditions, Big Bard wins almost 1 in every 3 races (he has 4 wins from 13 outings on those surfaces combined). On fast, dry ground, he is far less effective. This is the kind of detail that matters to anyone who works with him day to day: they know exactly which race cards and which seasonal windows suit him best. At Kempton Park especially, Big Bard has flourished, winning 2 of his 6 races there. His most recent victory came at that track on 28 January 2026—seven months ago—suggesting he may be in the later chapter of his career, though he remains active, having raced just a day ago.
His recent form reads 6-6-11-9-1-7, with that 1 representing a hard-fought win not long ago. At Class 6 level, where Big Bard typically races, he has won 8 of 37 starts (a win rate of 22%), making him a legitimate threat whenever the conditions favour him. He is the kind of horse that punters learn to follow on wet ground at Kempton: reliable, honest, and built for exactly these circumstances.
