Tatum

There is something quietly compelling about a horse that keeps finding a way to win at the same track. Tatum, a 5-year-old trained by Noel Meade at his yard in Castletown, Co Meath, has built a small but striking record at Leopardstown — winning 2 of just 4 races there. That is a 50% win rate at the venue, which is a remarkable number when you consider most horses are lucky to win 1 in every 8 or 10 races over a career. Leopardstown clearly suits this horse, and Noel Meade's yard, which has sent out 42 winners already this season, clearly knows how to place it to best effect.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Overall, Tatum has won 2 races and finished in the places 10 more times from 16 outings — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 races across its career, which tells you this is a horse that competes honestly without quite dominating. But zoom in on the last six runs and the picture sharpens considerably: the form reads 3-5-–-1-2-1, meaning two wins and a second from the five completed races. That is a horse in form, running consistently and picking up wins when conditions are right.

Those conditions are worth noting. On normal ground, Tatum wins 2 from 5 — 40% of the time, which is a genuinely impressive number. It also has a strong record over longer distances, winning 2 from 4 races at between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, suggesting this is a stayer that fills out at the end of a race rather than relying on a sharp early burst. The combination of a big track, normal conditions, and a genuine stamina test seems to be the sweet spot.

One curiosity worth flagging is the record with regular jockey Colin Keane. In 5 races together they have not yet managed a win, which is a little surprising given Tatum's overall form. Both of Tatum's wins have come without him in the saddle — the first at Leopardstown in May 2025, the second back at Leopardstown in July 2025. Tatum raced just yesterday and remains an active competitor, so there may well be more chapters to write. For a horse that finds Leopardstown so agreeable, it is worth keeping an eye on the entries whenever that track comes around.
