Tupero

O'Meara is one of the most productive trainers in the north, and this season his yard has sent out 107 winners — a number that reflects genuine depth and organisation, not just a couple of talented horses carrying the operation. Tupero sits comfortably within that picture, a reliable performer who keeps delivering. The most recent win came at Nottingham just this week, on 31 May 2026, which means this profile is being written about a horse that was winning days ago. It does not get more current than that.

One of the more telling details is how Tupero performs on normal ground conditions. In 3 races run on a standard surface, it has won 2 of them — a win rate of 67%, or two out of every three attempts. That is a significant pattern. Many horses are inconsistent depending on how wet or dry the track is, but Tupero on a normal surface is close to a different proposition entirely. It is the kind of stat that, once you know it, you cannot ignore.

The journey started at Newcastle in February 2026, where Tupero picked up its first career win. Since then it has progressed steadily, and that run of form — a win, then a second, then a fourth, then back-to-back wins including this week's — suggests a horse that dipped briefly and then found its rhythm again. The fourth-place finish looks like the anomaly now, sandwiched between performances that confirm Tupero as a genuine, consistent competitor. At four years old with nine races under its belt and a rising win rate, the interesting question is not whether Tupero can win again — it is how much further this run of form can go.
