Eye Of A Tiger
Eye Of A Tiger has taken its time to get off the mark, but at six years old it finally broke through with a win at Kilbeggan back in August 2025 — and that remains the one and only victory on its record. Across 11 races in total, it has won just once, which works out at roughly 1 in every 11 trips to the track. That said, eight places from those 11 races tells a more nuanced story: this is a horse that keeps showing up in the finish, even when it is not quite getting to the front.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form, however, is worth noting honestly. Eye Of A Tiger has not won in its last six races, with finishes that include a couple of thirds but also some deeper placings — sixth and seventh — mixed in. That is not the form of a horse building toward something big right now, more one that is ticking along without quite finding the spark it showed at Kilbeggan nine months ago.
The yard behind the horse is John Patrick Ryan, based in Templemore, Co Tipperary, and the team has been in decent enough nick this season with 21 winners sent out. The fact that Eye Of A Tiger raced as recently as yesterday shows it is in active campaigning mode — so the yard clearly feel there is more to come from this horse, even if the wins have been hard to find. Whether it can rediscover that Kilbeggan magic is the interesting question hanging over its next few runs.
