Both wins have arrived in quick succession: first at Windsor on 7th May 2026, then at Wolverhampton just eleven days later. That's the sort of form burst that gets people paying attention. Across 11 races in total, Bizou has won 2 and placed 4 times — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races (18%), which is solid rather than spectacular, but the recent trajectory is what matters. The last six runs read 1-1-2 after a couple of quieter efforts, and with a race just yesterday, this is a horse in the thick of a busy and productive spell.
The most curious footnote in Bizou's record is the partnership with regular jockey Rob Hornby. Despite teaming up six times, the pair have yet to win together — and yet both career victories have come under Hornby's guidance during this current hot streak. Sometimes the numbers lie a little, and this feels like one of those cases where the record is about to be rewritten rather than confirmed.
Jonathan Portman trains Bizou out of Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, and the yard is having a strong season with 46 winners already on the board. A trainer firing at that rate tends to know when a horse is ready to perform, and the back-to-back wins suggest Portman has found the right conditions and confidence for Bizou to express itself. Whether this is a permanent step forward or a brief purple patch, the next few races will tell the story — but right now, Bizou is one of the more interesting horses to follow.
