The recent form tells a familiar story. In the last six outings, Tie Fighter has finished fourth twice, which suggests the horse is knocking on the door but cannot quite break through. The results — fourth, seventh, fourth, eighth, fifth, and sixth from most recent back — show some consistency in being competitive without ever quite delivering. What is interesting is that Tie Fighter only raced a day ago, meaning the horse is actively campaigned and the trainer is giving it regular opportunities to find that first win.
Simon Dow's yard at Epsom has been in good form this season with 14 winners to their name, so the trainer clearly knows how to get horses to the finish line. Whether Tie Fighter will be the next to join that tally remains to be seen, but at three years old and still in active racing, there is time yet. For now, it is a horse that shows up, competes, and occasionally flashes a hint of promise — just not quite enough to break its duck.
