Sumatran Tiger
Sumatran Tiger has now had seven chances on the track and is still waiting for that first victory. At nine years old, the horse is a seasoned campaigner, but the wins just haven't come — a single second-place finish represents the extent of its success so far. Trained by
Richard Phillips at Adlestrop in Gloucestershire, Sumatran Tiger races at Class 4 level, where it has managed zero wins from three attempts. The yard itself has had a modest season, with three winners sent out so far.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse's recent form tells a straightforward story. Over the last six races, Sumatran Tiger has finished fifth, second, fourth, ninth, fifth again, and fifth once more — that runner-up spot from a couple of weeks ago remains its only prize money. There are no signs of improvement and no sense that a breakthrough is imminent. At this stage of a nine-year-old's career, the realistic window for a first win has largely closed. Sumatran Tiger will keep racing and keep trying, but the statistical reality is blunt: it has competed across seven races without ever crossing the line first. For a horse that has been in training for this long, the question is no longer whether it will win, but whether it will ever manage to.
