Tyger Bay

Based at Conrad Allen's Newmarket yard, Tyger Bay was first saddled for a winner back in February 2022 at Kempton Park, and his last victory came at Chelmsford in early March this year—six months ago now. Those wins don't come in wild streaks; instead, he plugs away at a steady rate, the kind of horse you see running week after week, sometimes placed, sometimes just missing. His recent form shows exactly this pattern: in his last six races he has finished fifth, second, first, second, and fourth, underlining that he remains competitive and willing to run his races hard, even if victory doesn't arrive every time out.

Jockey Joe Leavy has been his most successful partner, winning 3 of 12 races together at a 25% win rate—markedly better than his overall record, which hints that Leavy understands how to get the best from him. At nine years old, Tyger Bay is no spring chicken in racing terms, yet he raced just a day ago and shows every sign of remaining sound and active. He is the kind of horse that gives genuine value at lower-level races: not spectacular, not exciting, but honest work from an animal that knows how to win when the moment presents itself.
