What makes Bill Plumb genuinely interesting is what happens when he arrives at Great Yarmouth. At that seaside track on the Norfolk coast, he transforms from a solid performer into something close to a specialist, winning 2 of just 4 races there. That is a 50% win rate at the venue — two and a half times his overall average — which is the kind of number that should make anyone paying attention sit up. His most recent win came there in October 2025, and it is a track worth keeping in mind whenever his name appears in a racecard.
He is trained by Phil McEntee at Newmarket, one of British racing's great headquarters towns, and the yard has been in decent form this season with 18 winners on the board. His most regular partner in the saddle is Luke Morris, though their record together — 1 win from 7 races — suggests the horse can be a tricky one to get right on any given day. Recent form reads 6-8-6-–-3-1, which translates as: a win, a third, then three runs without threatening the places. He raced just yesterday, so he is firmly in the thick of his season right now.
Bill Plumb started his career winning at Wolverhampton in March 2023, and two years on he is still competitive and racing regularly. He will never be one for the big occasions, but on the right day at the right track — and Great Yarmouth fits that description better than anywhere — he is a horse worth watching.
