The overall numbers are modest. Two wins from 48 races is a win rate of around 1 in every 24, and he hasn't won at all in his last 30 months, with his most recent victory coming at Dundalk in December 2023. His last six runs read as a string of mid-pack finishes — seventh, eighth, seventh, tenth — and he pulled up or was pulled up in the most recent outing. At 12, he is an old hand by any measure, and the question of what the team at David Marnane's yard in Tipperary are hoping to get from him is a fair one. Marnane has been in good form this season — 16 winners sent out — so the yard clearly knows how to place a horse.
Regular jockey Luke McAteer has ridden him 11 times and won once together, which works out at roughly 1 win in every 11 — not spectacular, but that single win is half the horse's entire career tally, so McAteer clearly knows him well. Tynamite raced just yesterday, which means he is still very much in training and still being entered. For a horse with these numbers at this age, the fact that the team keeps running him — and keeps running him at Dundalk — suggests they haven't completely given up on finding that particular combination of conditions that turned him into a winner twice before.
