Shantou Show
Shantou Show is a 10-year-old who has been racing for nearly two years, picking up two wins and five places from 19 races. That works out to roughly one win in every nine races — a modest return, but the horse has shown enough to keep the yard coming back. The first breakthrough came at Downpatrick in April 2023, followed by another win at Tipperary just weeks later, but that second victory now sits 41 months in the past. Since May 2023, Shantou Show has raced six times without finding the winner's circle, finishing out of the money in most outings, though there were a pair of second-place finishes mixed in to suggest the horse still has something to offer.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Noel C. Kelly trains the horse at Draperstown in Co. Derry, a yard that has put together a respectable season with 14 winners so far. Conor Stone-Walsh has been the regular partner in the saddle, though their record together tells a sobering story: six races without a win between them. The most recent run was just a day ago, when Shantou Show finished fifth — another run without pay-off. At this stage, the horse looks like a useful middle-of-the-field performer who occasionally catches a race, rather than a consistent threat. The long drought since that May 2023 victory suggests age may be catching up, or that opposition has simply moved beyond what this horse can beat on a regular basis. Still, with two wins on the record and appearances in the places column often enough, Shantou Show remains an active part of the yard's plans.
