Evening Saigon

The career started at Tipperary in May 2024, and the horse has built steadily from there. Recent form reads 2-1-2-2-1-2 going back over the last six runs, which tells an interesting story: Evening Saigon almost always finishes in the top two. That kind of consistency — winning or being beaten only narrowly — is the mark of a horse that competes hard every time it runs. The last win came at Newcastle on 13 April 2026, just three weeks ago, and with a race just yesterday the schedule is busy. That confidence from the yard to keep the horse active speaks volumes.

Speaking of the yard — Hamad Al Jehani trains out of Newmarket, which is the heartland of British flat racing, and has sent out 18 winners already this season. That is a yard in form, and a trainer who clearly knows when a horse is ready to run. Evening Saigon looks like one of the yard's star performers right now, and the decision to keep racing regularly suggests everyone around the horse believes it is in the form of its life.

At just 4 years old, there is every reason to think the best is still to come. Horses often continue to improve through their fourth and fifth years as they fill out physically and learn to race more efficiently. Evening Saigon is already winning at a remarkable rate — if that development continues, bigger occasions could be on the horizon.
