Joe Tickle's yard at Stoodleigh in Devon has done well by him — the trainer sent out 20 winners this season and has kept Taritino ticking over nicely. Taylor Fisher has been his main partner in the saddle, though the partnership has yielded just 2 wins from 17 races together (12%), suggesting the horse runs well enough but doesn't always have everything fall his way. His most recent victory came at Chester two months ago, and his last six races show the kind of form you would expect from a horse at this level: a win, two placings, and a couple of unplaced efforts, finishing sixth only once.
What stands out is how much Taritino improves when the ground is quick and dry. On fast, firm turf he has won 4 of 14 races (29%) — nearly twice his career average — which suggests this horse has genuine preference for racing when conditions suit him. He is also a horse that runs best over longer distances, between one mile six furlongs and two miles, where he has won 5 of 18 races (28%). At Salisbury he is something of a specialist, having won 2 of his 4 appearances there, a win rate that hints at a horse that understands the track and its geometry. Currently active, Taritino continues to justify the faith his the yard place in him, a steady, unflashy performer that remains fit for purpose.
