Tyson

Those two wins have come in quick succession. The first arrived at Newcastle on 31 March 2026, and then — just weeks later — Tyson followed it up at Huntingdon, winning as recently as this week. Back-to-back wins are not easy to pull off at any level, and for a horse who had gone the majority of his career without one, it suggests he has genuinely turned a corner rather than just getting lucky once.

Behind Tyson stands Dan Skelton's yard in Alcester, Warwickshire — one of the most productive training operations in Britain right now. Skelton's team has sent out 194 winners already this season, which is a remarkable output. That kind of volume means horses in the yard tend to be placed carefully and understood well. When a Skelton horse starts winning, it is rarely an accident.

The honest summary is that Tyson is not a superstar — 2 wins from 17 races tells you he is competing at a workmanlike level, and the career record is modest. But a horse who wins twice in the space of two months, trained by someone firing winners at that rate, is exactly the kind of animal worth paying attention to. Whatever Dan Skelton's team has adjusted, it seems to be working.
