The two wins came at Fontwell Park in May 2025 and Plumpton in December 2025, both tracks sitting within easy reach of its yard at Lower Beeding in West Sussex. That southern heartland seems to suit The Boss Bear well, and with a win rate of roughly 1 in every 3 races — 2 wins from 6 outings — it is making a strong case that it belongs at this level. For context, most horses at this stage of their career would be happy with half that return.
Tom Cannon has been the regular partner, riding The Boss Bear in all six of its races and steering it to both victories. That kind of settled relationship between jockey and horse matters more than people realise — they learn each other's rhythms, and the numbers back it up here. The yard itself is in rude health this season, having sent out 94 winners, which puts Gary and Josh Moore firmly among the most productive training operations in the country right now. A horse coming out of a yard firing like that carries real confidence with it.
The form figures from the last six runs — placing eighth most recently, then two places, then a win, a win, and a place — suggest The Boss Bear had a wobble most recently, finishing eighth last time out eight days ago. That's the one smudge on an otherwise clean copybook, and it'll be interesting to see whether the team treats that as a blip or looks to adjust things before heading out again. Given the horse's record, there's every reason to expect it will bounce back quickly.
