The horse runs best over shorter distances, between five and six and a half furlongs, and it is at this range that Rock Iguana has found his one victory — winning 1 of 6 races at this trip, a strong 33% win rate at Class 5 level (lower-grade races where the quality of opposition is weakest). The recent form makes grim reading: 10th, 8th, 8th, 6th, 6th, and a second-place finish just a day ago. That runner-up effort suggests there is still some fight in him, but the pattern is concerning. David Egan, his most regular rider, has partnered Rock Iguana five times without a win, leaving both horse and jockey searching for momentum.
Jim and Suzi Best's Lewes yard has been busy this season with 13 winners already, but Rock Iguana remains a work in progress. He is a horse that can win at the right level and trip, as his record proves, but consistency has been the enemy. The long gap since his last success suggests he may need to find his way back to what worked at Southwell, or his racing career could be running out of road.
