Tamworth Racing Tips 15 June 2026 — can Bullock boss it again?
The easiest way to frame this Tamworth meeting is simple: if you want to bet with confidence, you want riders who consistently put you in the race here. And today that points you straight to A Bullock, who rides Tamworth like he owns the place. He has 24 rides here for 7 wins and 14 placings, which is the sort of volume that actually means something at a country track.
We have five races on the turf, and the card splits neatly into two problems: three maidens where you want progressive profiles rather than “been there forever”, then a staying BM66 and a big-field BM58 where barriers and early decisions matter. These Tamworth racing tips lean hard on that mix: proven track operators where the sample is real, and improving horses where the upside beats the resume.
Tamworth — the setup
Going is unlisted in the data, so treat early races as feelers for how the inside is playing and whether leaders can pinch a break. Limited course form across today’s fields, and plenty of runners only have one or two goes here, so I’m not handing out “track specialist” tags lightly.

Rider to follow: Bullock is the headline. At Tamworth he wins just under a third of his rides and lands in the placings well over half the time (24 rides is proper evidence). Braith Nock is the other one you want onside, with 19 rides here for 5 wins and 12 placings.
Stable notes that matter: R P Northam is a genuine Tamworth lever. From 13 runners at the track he’s won 4 and placed 7. That’s not hype, that’s a real strike. Brett and Georgie Cavanough turn up plenty too (23 runners), and while the win tally is lower (3), they hit the frame 11 times so you’re rarely dead early.

Race-by-race tips and analysis
Race 1: Peel Valley Tyres Mdn Plate — 12:50, 1750
Northfire looks the right starting point. The form line reads like a maiden that’s been knocking for the right setup: 9202. Drawn 2, Clayton Gallagher should be able to hold a spot without burning fuel, and over 1750 at Tamworth that matters because you can win this sort of race by simply being in the first half when they straighten.
The other tick is trajectory. Northfire has had four runs in the last 90 days, has placed twice, and averages a finishing position in the mid fives. That’s not superstar stuff, but it’s consistent enough that improvement makes him the one they have to catch.
The danger is Pinero from gate 3. She’s the kind of horse that keeps you honest in exotics because she turns up and runs around the money. She’s placed in all three visits to Tamworth, which doesn’t make her a specialist, but it does tell you she handles the circuit and finds a spot. If the pace is dawdling, she’s the one who can peel out and grind.
Staking: Win bet Northfire. Small saver quinella Northfire and Pinero if you’re playing wider.
Race 2: Mcdonalds Tamworth Country Boosted Mdn Hcp — 13:25, 1312
Here’s the puzzle: do you side with the lightly-raced three-year-olds who look close, or the older brigade who have had their chances? I’m staying with the progressive type and landing on Ordinary Angel.
She’s gone 82 in two starts. That’s the right shape for a maiden handicap, and she gets Bullock. At this track, that’s a serious upgrade in decision-making: he wins just under a third of his rides here and puts you in the frame more often than not. From barrier 3 he can take the easy trail rather than being forced to chase wide.
Haras is the obvious danger. The 36-72- profile suggests he’s been around the mark without winning, and from gate 6 he should be able to land midfield with cover and get a clear crack at them. If he’s the one with the stronger last 200, he can pinch it.
I’m happy to oppose horses like Moon Treaty and In One Moment on recent production. Moon Treaty has had three runs in the last 90 days for no placings and an average finishing position of 9.0. That’s a tough launch pad in a race where several look ready to win.
Staking: Ordinary Angel win bet. Exacta saver Ordinary Angel to beat Haras.
Race 3: Kel Penfold Finance Mdn Plate — 14:05, 1094
The market might lean to the “name” stables, but this looks like a race that rewards the horse that can hold a position early and sustain a sprint. I’m with Supido Star.
He’s 28-522 coming in, which screams “ready”. Gate 10 is the one knock, but Bullock’s booking says they expect him to be in the finish again, and over 1094 you often see these races won by a horse that can absorb a slightly awkward run and still let down. If Bullock can slot in one off the fence rather than being posted three deep, he’ll have the last crack.
Eezitosort is the danger. He’s 42 from two starts and has the upside that comes with limited exposure. The draw (12) isn’t kind either, but if the speed is on and they’re fanning, the wide gate becomes less painful and he’s the one with the scope to jump again.
A quick word on the newcomers: Sable Coat for Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald makes you pay attention, because that yard places 7 of their 8 Tamworth runners in the money and wins 3. The catch is Sable Coat is a debuting two-year-old with limited hard evidence. Respect, don’t mortgage.
Staking: Supido Star win bet. Small each-way saver Eezitosort if the price is right.

Race 4: Shay Brennan Constructions (Bm66) — 14:45, 2297
This is the best betting race on the card because the form is actually readable and the map is cleaner than the maidens. I’m leaning to Currumbin Alley as the horse with the most reliable staying profile.
The recent form is hard to knock: 162221. That’s a horse who keeps putting himself in the fight, and in these country BM races, that consistency wins plenty because the others throw in too many flat ones. He also brings a proper 90-day platform: six runs, three placings, and an average finishing position a touch over 4. That’s the floor you want.
The main danger is Bellini Spritz on top weight. He comes in off 112-70, and yes, those last two are ugly, but the earlier wins say he has a ceiling. Bullock rides, and if Bullock can control the tempo from gate 5, the weight becomes less of a problem. If the race turns tactical, Bellini Spritz can absolutely boss them.
Don’t ignore Autumn Heir either. From gate 7 he maps for a nice run, and K A Lees knows how to place them at Tamworth (15 runners for 3 wins and 6 placings). He’s the one I want for third and fourth in trifectas.
Staking: Currumbin Alley win bet. Saver on Bellini Spritz if he’s allowed to roll in front without pressure.
Race 5: Concrete Industry Supplies Country Boosted (Bm58) — 15:20, 1531
The market will probably gravitate to the obvious last-start winner, but the bigger question is where you want to be in run from these gates. With a stack of wide barriers and plenty of mid-pack types, you can see this being messy early, and that makes me want the horse drawn to land close without burning matches. That’s Hit Song from gate 8.
He’s in proper nick (502214) and the pattern says he’s holding form rather than spiking. In a BM58, that’s half the job. If he lands in the first six and doesn’t have to make his run five wide, he’s the one I want onside.
The danger is Devilish Sun. His recent sequence (4-2313) screams “competitive in grade”, and if he gets the right cart across from gate 3, he can be the horse with first look at them. Tim Mcintosh is also the stable worth respecting on this card. He’s had two runners at Tamworth for a win and another placing. Two runs is still a small sample, but it tells you he doesn’t come here empty.
I’m happy to risk some of the wide-gate hopes at the top end of the weights. Deebo from gate 19 can win if everything goes right, but in this sort of field you’re paying for a lot of luck. Oakfield Utah (gate 14) has talent in the form line (1-140), but again, the draw forces decisions early.
Staking: Hit Song win bet. If you’re playing quaddies, keep Devilish Sun safe.
The plays
NAP: Currumbin Alley (Race 4, 14:45). The 162221 form line says he turns up every time, and his last 90 days back that up with a solid average finish and three placings from six.
Value: Supido Star (Race 3, 14:05). The run of seconds and strong recent form (28-522) is the exact profile that wins these 1094 maidens, even from a sticky gate if Bullock can find cover.
Banker for multis: Northfire (Race 1, 12:50) to run top two. He maps well from gate 2 and has been thereabouts in his last four without needing miracles.
Each-way angle: Pinero (Race 1, 12:50). She’s placed in all three runs at Tamworth. That’s not a “specialist” tag, but it’s reliable evidence she handles the track and can stick on for a cheque.
Course angle: Follow the Northam stable when they look set up. At Tamworth they’ve had 13 runners for 4 wins and 7 placings, and they’ve got multiple runners on the card again.
Keep an eye on how the winners are building their runs. If the pattern is leaders pinching cheap sections early, you’ll want to upgrade on-pace rides in the staying race next time this track pops up.
