Telegram Sam
Telegram Sam, a 4-year-old trained by
Adrian Murray at Rathowen in County Westmeath, is a horse hitting form at exactly the right moment. Last week, on 28 September, the horse broke through for its first career win at Roscommon, and just days later is back in action — a sign of confidence from the yard that this is a horse ready to win again.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The win came after two placed efforts earlier in its racing career, giving Telegram Sam a record of one win and two places from three races. That is a 33 percent win rate, which tells you this horse is competitive at whatever level it is running. Murray's yard is in fine shape too, having already sent out 26 winners this season, so the trainer clearly knows how to get horses ready to perform.
What matters now is momentum. Telegram Sam raced just yesterday, meaning the yard is keeping the horse fresh and racing frequently. That recent third-place finish suggests the horse may have found its level, but the fact that it won so recently — and at a track where it clearly ran well — gives real reason to believe another victory is not far away.
