Tap Tap Shamie

Tap Tap Shamie is a 6-year-old with the kind of form that suggests genuine ability is there, even if results haven't quite followed yet. The horse has won one and finished in the top 3 twice from four races—a 25% win rate that sits just above the bare minimum you'd want to see, but the pattern of recent form is worth watching.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The win came at Hexham on 9 May 2026, which now sits five months back in the record. Since then, Tap Tap Shamie has managed two top-3 finishes and one unplaced run—exactly the kind of form that keeps a horse's the yard hopeful. Racing just a day ago suggests the yard isn't giving up on finding the right race and conditions to bring another win. Trainer Olly Murphy's yard at Wilmcote has sent out 146 winners this season, so Tap Tap Shamie is part of a genuinely active team who know how to get horses to the finish line.

What makes this interesting is that Tap Tap Shamie is still racing and still being given chances. With only four races under its belt, there's the feeling this could be a horse that hasn't found its level yet—or perhaps hasn't struck the ideal trip or ground. Either way, it's one that merits keeping an eye on if you're following the yard's runners.
