The one area where he genuinely looks more competitive is at a distance of around a mile and a furlong to a mile and two furlongs — he has won 1 from 6 races at that trip, a 17% win rate, which works out to roughly one win in every six tries. In the wider context of his career that might not sound dramatic, but it is comfortably the best version of this horse, and it tells you that getting the distance right matters with him. His most frequent jockey, Ben Coen, has ridden him nine times and been in the saddle for his one win — a record of 1 from 9, or roughly one win in every nine rides together.
He is trained by Paul Midgley, whose yard in Westow, North Yorkshire, has been in solid form this season — 39 winners sent out is a healthy haul and suggests a stable operating with confidence. Theophilos raced just yesterday, so he is very much an active runner, and with a trainer whose yard is firing, there is always the chance that this horse finds the right conditions to remind everyone what he looked like that day at Tipperary. It has been a long wait, but in racing, one good day can rewrite the whole story.
