Kempton Park is where this horse has truly found its groove. Over nine races at the track, Silca Bay has won three times—that is a win rate of exactly 1 in 3, which is genuinely sharp. Horses often have a course that suits them, whether it's the ground, the layout, or just habit, and Kempton is clearly this one's happy hunting ground. Away from Kempton, the record becomes much tighter: two wins from 13 other races tells its own story.
The horse is trained by Eve Johnson Houghton at Blewbury in Oxfordshire, a yard that has been firing on all cylinders this season with 42 winners already. Most of Silca Bay's races have come in Class 5 events—the lower rungs of the ladder—where it has won 2 from 11, an 18 percent win rate that suggests the horse belongs at this level, neither outclassed nor thrashing inferior rivals. Jockey Charles Bishop has ridden Silca Bay seven times and has won twice aboard it, a 29 percent win rate that is comfortably above the horse's overall average, hinting that there may be a useful partnership developing. With a win just six weeks ago at Newmarket and races within the last day, Silca Bay is clearly in active work and still looking for more.
