Two Tribes

Trained by Richard Spencer at Newmarket, Two Tribes seems to have found its sweet spot on normal ground, winning 3 of 9 races (a 33% win rate) when the going is neither too fast nor too soft. This is a significant detail: the horse's performances vary sharply depending on ground conditions, and Spencer's ability to find the right races on suitable terrain may be key to future wins. In top-level races, though, the record is tighter—2 wins from 15 Class 2 starts (13% win rate)—suggesting the jump to the very best company is where results become harder to come by.

The horse's last win came at Meydan on 2 January 2026, now seven months in the past, indicating a long run without success despite active racing. For a horse that has shown it can win at the highest level, that drought is notable, and Two Tribes will need a return to the kind of form that produced those summer victories if it is to add to its total. It raced just a day ago, so Spencer is clearly still looking for the right opportunity.
