Shameful
Shameful has won just once in five career races, claiming victory at Newbury on 20 September 2024 in what remains his only success to date. The 4-year-old, trained by
Clive Cox at his Lambourn yard, has added three places to that single win, giving him a win rate of 1 in 5 races — respectable form for a horse at his level, though it has been 24 months since he last saw the winner's enclosure. His recent form reads 8-9-2-2-1 (most recent first), showing flashes of promise with two second-place finishes in his last four runs, but also stretches of poor form that suggest consistency remains elusive. He raced just a day ago, so he is very much an active part of his trainer's string.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Clive Cox's Lambourn yard is one of the more successful operations in British racing, with 48 winners sent out this season alone, so Shameful is running among decent company at home. What makes this horse worth watching is not a glittering record, but rather the possibility that his two recent seconds represent a return to form after a long drought. Whether he can convert that improvement into another win remains to be seen — but after two years without a victory, he is surely due.
