Mr Tony

The real story is where he finds his groove. Over distances between 1 mile 1 furlong and 1 mile 2 furlongs, Mr Tony wins 1 in every 3 races—a win rate that stands out compared to his overall record. His first win came at Gowran Park in October 2025, and he's proven capable of backing that up, most recently scoring at Chepstow on 8 July, just three months ago. That means he has recent winning form on the board, which counts for plenty at this level.

His last six races tell a mixed story—a seventh-place finish, then a fourth, a win, a third, another win, and a fourth again just yesterday. It's the kind of inconsistency you often see in young horses working out their best distance and conditions, but the fact that he's still racing actively and hitting the winner's enclosure regularly enough suggests Burrows has him on an upward curve. The Lambourn yard has sent out 32 winners this season, so Mr Tony is part of a yard in good form. He looks like a horse who knows how to win at the distances that suit him best—keep an eye on him when he lines up in that 1m1f–1m2f range.
