Might Bite was bred in Ireland by John O'Brien. His first race was at Newbury in January 2015, finishing 3rd before winning at the same course in March.[2] A further victory at Cheltenham in April followed.
He switched between Chase and Hurdle races during 2015 and into early 2016, before scoring a first chase win at Doncaster in December. A fall followed before a run of form consisting of six victories in seven races. This run of form in 2017 included multiple Grade 1 wins at Cheltenham in the RSA Chase,[3] Aintree in the Mildmay Novices Chase[4] and Kempton Park in the King George VI Chase.[5]
Might Bite would return to the Cheltenham Festival in 2018 for a tilt at the Gold Cup, but ultimately finished second to Native River.[6] A month later he won again at Aintree, this time in the Grade 1 Betway Bowl.[7]
Following a summer break, Might Bite returned to Haydock in November 2018 but did not recapture his previous form and failed to win another race before retirement in 2021.[8] His final race was at Aintree in the Grand Sefton Handicap Chase over the Grand National course, where he was pulled up.[9][10]
Might Bite was trained by Nicky Henderson for his whole racing career and was primarily ridden by Nico de Boinville.
