Tiva

Tiva is a 4-year-old with the kind of consistent form that keeps a trainer coming back for more. David O'Meara, based near York in North Yorkshire, has saddled this horse five times to victory from 23 races—a win rate of roughly one in every five—and the recent record shows the horse is hitting its stride at exactly the right moment. In the last six races, Tiva has won twice, placed four times, and finished sixth only once. That's solid, improving form from a horse that looks to have found its level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Class 5 racing—the lower rungs of British track racing—is where Tiva thrives. Out of six starts at this level, the horse has won twice, a success rate of one in three. Compare that to overall form and you see a horse that competes better when the opposition is more modest and the distances suit its style. The yard's broader record this season—101 winners sent out—suggests O'Meara knows how to place his runners correctly, and Tiva appears to be exactly where it should be. The most recent win came at Doncaster just two weeks ago on September 13, 2026, keeping the horse in active, winning form. Only a day has passed since the last race, so Tiva is still racing regularly and clearly sound in wind and limb.

What makes Tiva worth watching is the consistency of its placed finishes. Eleven places from 23 races means this horse is competitive far more often than it wins—it turns up, tries hard, and finishes in the frame. That reliability, combined with a recent winning streak and a trainer with a prolific yard, suggests Tiva has become a genuine fixture in O'Meara's string. For a 4-year-old still improving, and racing in the right company, there may be more wins to come.
