Working most often with jockey Chris Hayes, the pair have managed just one victory from twelve races together, a win rate of 8 percent — not great odds for a partnership, though Hayes was aboard for that sole triumph. Trained by Eddie and Patrick Harty at Curragh, Tai Tam Bay runs from a yard that has sent out 16 winners this season, suggesting the training operation knows how to get horses to the line. The horse performs best at distances between five and six and a half furlongs, though even over its preferred trip it has managed only 1 win from 19 races there.
Recent form offers little encouragement. In its last six outings, Tai Tam Bay has finished seventh, sixteenth, fifth, second, fourth, and third — so while it showed some promise with that second place partway through, it came back down to earth immediately after. The horse is still active, having raced just a day ago, which means the Harty team continue to find races where they feel it has a chance. For a five-year-old with such a meagre win record, racing is becoming a test of persistence — and while Tai Tam Bay keeps turning up to compete, the road back to the winner's circle looks longer than ever.
