Tom Taggle
Tom Taggle is a six-year-old who waited a long time for his moment in the sun. After 12 races without a win, he finally broke through at Chepstow on 21 April 2025—but that victory now feels like ancient history. Eighteen months have passed since then, and despite three places from his last six runs, he has not found the winner's circle again. Over his career, he has won just once in 13 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 13 attempts, with three additional placings to show for his time on the track.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Mrs C. Williams at Llancarfan in the Vale of Glamorgan, Tom Taggle has done most of his racing at Class 5 level, where he has won 1 of 7 races—a respectable 14 percent at that grade. His partnership with regular jockey Adam Wedge has been slightly more fruitful: Wedge has ridden him to that single win in six races together, a 17 percent win rate that hints at a good understanding between horse and rider. The yard itself has had a modest season with three winners sent out so far. Tom Taggle remains active, having raced just a day ago, so there is still time yet for another breakthrough.
