Tanjen
Tanjen has found a home at Hamilton Park. The 4-year-old has won two of its three races at the Lanarkshire track, most recently this week on 21 September, and that 67% win rate there is the kind of record that makes trainers and punters sit up and take notice. By contrast, the horse struggles badly in Class 5 company—the highest grade it usually races in—with no wins from six attempts, which tells you the real sweet spot for Tanjen is those easier races where the margin between winning and losing is often just a couple of lengths.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The overall picture is a consistent but modest campaigner. From 21 races, Tanjen has won four times and been placed nine others, a win rate of roughly one in every five outings. That recent victory came just days ago, and the last six races show a horse in decent form: wins in two of them, along with placings, though one fourth-place finish suggests it doesn't always get everything right. David Allan, its most regular rider, hasn't quite found the magic that the horse clearly has for other jockeys, with just one win from seven races together.
Tim Easterby's Great Habton yard has been prolific this season with 128 winners to its name, and Tanjen fits the pattern of a horse that works better in the right spots than in a blanket racing schedule. The real lesson here is simple: back Tanjen at Hamilton Park, avoid it in top-grade company, and don't overestimate what a 19% win rate means when the horse is specialising so clearly at one track.
