Tambora

The real insight into this horse lies in distance. At trips between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs, Tambora has won 1 of 3 races, a win rate of one in three that stands out sharply against the overall record. Elsewhere, the horse has managed only a place from three attempts, which hints that Tambora may be a specialist waiting to find the right race at the right length. Richard Hannon's yard at Herridge is one of the busier operations in Britain this season—118 winners already—so there is no shortage of ammunition being tested. For a horse just past its third birthday and still learning the game, Tambora has shown it can get its head in front, and that Sandown win proves it belongs in races. The challenge now is stringing together the form that suggests it can do so again.
