The recent run of form makes for uncomfortable reading. Six races without a win, with a third place the best of it and a seventh-place finish the most recent — that seventh, shown as a dash in the record, suggests the race was interrupted or the result complicated in some way. Either way, Tiberius Thunder has not built on that Valentine's Day breakthrough, and at four years old, the window to develop into something more consistent is not unlimited.
The horse is trained by Robson De Aguiar, based in Mullingar, County Westmeath — a yard that has sent out 10 winners this season, which shows there is genuine ability in the operation. De Aguiar clearly knows how to get horses to win races. The question is whether Tiberius Thunder can rediscover the form that made Dundalk such a happy hunting ground just over a year ago. The horse raced just seven days ago, so it is fit and active — and if there is a plan to turn things around, it is clearly already in motion.
Tiberius Thunder is not a headline act right now, but it is the kind of horse whose next win, when it comes, will feel earned. One from seven, chasing a second — sometimes that is the most compelling story racing has to offer.
