The recent form makes for tough reading. Looking at the last six races, the best result was a second-place finish, which at least shows Tijuana can get close to the front end of a race. But that has been surrounded by finishes of seventh, eighth, and a couple of eleventh-place efforts, which suggests consistency is not exactly a strong suit. Out of eleven runners, eleventh is as far back as it gets.
What is worth noting is that Tijuana raced just one day ago, so this is a horse still very much in active training and being asked questions regularly. At eight years old, some horses start to find their feet in a particular type of race or on a particular track — but with nothing in this record to point to a breakthrough, the honest assessment is that Tijuana is yet to find the right moment. Whether that moment ever comes is the question the yard will keep trying to answer.
