What makes him genuinely interesting is his partnership with jockey Shane Gray. The pair have clicked in a way that lifts Jez Bomb's performances noticeably: Gray has ridden him to 6 wins from 19 races together, a win rate of roughly 1 in 3 — significantly better than his overall record. That's not luck; it's the kind of relationship that separates a competent horse from one that gives you something to look forward to on race day. England has backed this partnership, and it shows in the results.
Jez Bomb also dominates at Thirsk, where he has won 2 of his 4 races — a remarkable win rate for any course specialist. He thrives on fast, dry ground too, winning 3 of 9 races on those conditions, compared to a much thinner return elsewhere. Most of his wins come in Class 6 races, where he has won 4 of 14 starts. His most recent victory came at Pontefract three months ago, and he is still actively racing — his latest outing was just yesterday. England has indicated that Jez Bomb wants a fast-run mile and has been running a career best this season, which suggests there may still be a bit more to come from him. The trainer's philosophy is to let the horse tell him when it needs time off, a refreshingly patient approach that seems to be working.
