Tupero

The recent form tells a compelling story. Reading the last six results from most recent backwards — a win, a second, a fourth, a second, a win, and a sixth — you can see a horse that dipped out of form once but has since found its stride again in a big way. Those two wins in the last six races, with two runner-up finishes sandwiched in, suggest Tupero is racing at or near its peak right now.

The first win came at Newcastle in February 2026, which gave the team something to work with. But it is the most recent win, at Redcar just this week on 7 May, that really catches the eye. Winning on Thursday and being profiled on Friday is about as current as it gets — this is a horse in form, racing regularly, and delivering results. Across 8 races in total, Tupero has won 2, which works out at winning 1 in every 4 races — a solid 25% win rate for a horse still only 4 years old with plenty of racing ahead.

Behind all of this is David O'Meara's yard at Upper Helmsley in North Yorkshire, one of the most productive operations in the north of England. O'Meara's team has sent out 107 winners already this season alone — that is not a lucky streak, that is a well-run stable firing on all cylinders. When a horse is trained by a yard producing that kind of volume of winners, it tends to mean the animal is well-placed in the right races at the right time. Tupero looks like a beneficiary of exactly that kind of management — a horse placed patiently, brought to form, and winning races as a result. With its current run of form and an in-form yard behind it, there is every reason to think Tupero has more to offer before this season is out.
