Eye Of A Tiger

There is something quietly stubborn about a horse that keeps turning up. Eye Of A Tiger has raced 13 times in its career, won once, and placed on 8 other occasions — meaning it has finished in the frame in more than two thirds of its races without always finding that extra gear to get to the front. One win from 13 races is a modest return on paper, roughly 1 in every 13 races, but the relentless placing tells you this is a horse that competes rather than drifts.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That sole win came at Kilbeggan on 22 August 2025, and it remains the high point of a career that has since gone a little quiet. The six-year-old has not won in its last six outings, and recent form — a sixth, two pulls or non-completions, a third, another non-completion, and a sixth — makes for mixed reading. The third place in there is encouraging, a sign the ability is still present, but the blank runs either side of it leave questions hanging.

John Patrick Ryan trains the horse out of Templemore in County Tipperary, and it is worth noting that Ryan's yard has been in decent nick this season — 21 winners sent out is a solid body of work, suggesting this is a yard that knows what it is doing. Eye Of A Tiger raced just one day ago, so it is very much an active participant in the game right now, not a horse coasting toward retirement.

At six years old, it is still relatively young, and horses with this kind of placing record often take time to find their moment. Kilbeggan gave it that moment once. Whether it can find another is the question worth watching.
