Tatum
Tatum is a five-year-old with a knack for finding the winner's enclosure just often enough to stay interesting. Over twenty races, the horse has won three times and finished in the top three on eleven occasions — a win rate of roughly one win in every six or seven races. That consistency on the podium suggests a solid, dependable racehorse rather than a star, but there is one glaring truth about Tatum that makes it genuinely worth watching: the horse is essentially a Leopardstown machine.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
At that Dublin track, Tatum has won three of five races — a 60% win rate that stands out sharply against an otherwise modest overall record. The most recent victory came three months ago on 23 July 2026, which means Tatum has tasted success recently enough to suggest it still has plenty left in the tank. Trained by Noel Meade's yard at Castletown in County Meath, a stable that has already sent out 42 winners this season, Tatum clearly fits into a operation that knows how to get the best from its horses. The real sweet spot for this horse comes on normal ground and at the longer distances — from a mile and six furlongs up to two miles — where it has won three of seven races, a 43% success rate that tells you exactly where to focus when looking at future entries.
There is one oddity in Tatum's record: jockey Colin Keane, who rides for the yard regularly, has partnered the horse five times without a single win. That disconnect is worth monitoring if and when they are paired again. Recent form has been patchy — a fifth place just yesterday, a tenth before that — but Tatum has shown it can bounce back. For a horse that genuinely thrives at one track and on one type of ground, knowing those parameters makes Tatum far more predictable than its overall numbers suggest.
