Tippin And Tappin
Tippin And Tappin is a seven-year-old that has finally found a rhythm after a slow start to its racing career. With two wins from thirteen races, it's not a horse that dominates every time it goes to the track, but it has shown enough to suggest there's real talent lurking beneath a patchy record. What's most striking is how much better it runs with jockey
Darragh O'Keeffe in the saddle — together they've won two of seven races, a win rate of roughly 29%, which is far ahead of its overall 15% win rate. That kind of partnership matters in racing, and it suggests the horse runs best when handled by someone it trusts.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's form has tightened noticeably in recent months. Over its last six races, it has delivered two wins and two places, showing it can still compete. Its last victory came at Killarney on 18 July 2025, and though that's now thirteen months in the past, the horse was back in action just a day ago, which means it's still actively campaigned by trainer E Bolger at Bruree in County Limerick. Bolger's yard has been productive this season with fourteen winners already, suggesting the stable is in good form and Tippin And Tappin may well get another chance to break through soon. For a horse at this level, consistency and the right partnership can be everything — and this one has both.
