The highlight so far came at Musselburgh on 5th June 2026, where Highland Shah picked up that first career win — a result that will have pleased the team enormously. Musselburgh, perched on the Firth of Forth east of Edinburgh, is a tight, sharp track that tends to suit horses with a bit of tactical speed and a willingness to race close to the pace. Winning there as a 3-year-old is a decent early marker.
What is also worth noting is the yard behind this horse. Julie Camacho trains out of Norton in North Yorkshire and has sent out 46 winners already this season — that is a stable in form, and horses from a yard running hot tend to be well-placed and well-prepared when they line up. Camacho has built a strong reputation for getting the best out of her horses at the right moments, so Highland Shah is in capable hands.
The recent form reads 3-1-4-3-4 — meaning a win, a handful of placings, and a couple of runs where things did not quite click. That is not unusual for a young horse finding its feet, and with a race just yesterday, this is clearly a horse being kept busy and active. Trainers who keep horses ticking over like this usually know they have one in form and are keen to capitalise. Whether Highland Shah can add to that Musselburgh victory soon is the interesting question — but all the signs point to a young horse on an upward curve with more to offer.
