Tin Whistle colours Generated livery card for Tin Whistle — cyan and black quarters with a black cap, over a grey coat swatch.

A runner on this circuit carries colours rather than a photograph. There is nothing to photograph: the livery is drawn from the same values the simulator renders, so the card above and the screen agree.

The rating is not a handicapper's mark — this circuit has no handicapper. It is the runner's mean published weighting: the average block of numbers, out of 1,000, that GP-Draw 4.2 has given it across the cards it appears on. Divide by ten for the mean true win percentage.

The record reads starts–wins–seconds–thirds and the form string runs oldest to newest, so the last figure is the most recent finishing position. Figures are as at 25 October 2026 on the circuit clock and move only when a card this runner is declared in is drawn. There is no prizemoney on this circuit: nothing is staked, so nothing is won, and the money column is printed as an em dash rather than filled with a number that does not exist.

Every card

6 published · 2 drawn · 4 to run

Every card Tin Whistle appears on, newest first, read off the cards themselves. Numbers is the block of 1,000 the weighting table gave this runner in that race; price is the same figure in the other notation. A card still to run has no finishing position, because nothing has been drawn yet.

Fields are fixed when a card is published, so there are no scratchings and no starting price: the price in this table is the one the card carried. How a virtual race is decided works through the arithmetic.

Prices on this page are the draw weighting in another notation. They are reference figures published with the card, not odds available anywhere, and not a betting recommendation.

The form line

the desk, on what the weightings have done

Tin Whistle held 178 numbers of the 1,000 in the Trial at Wattle Hill, from barrier seven at $4.81, and finished fourth of eight, 4.7 lengths back. That is its thickest block on the programme. Three days later it held sixteen numbers in the Class C Sprint at $49.45 and finished ninth of twelve.

It is the only runner of the sixteen gallopers carded at Wattle Hill more often than anywhere else, which is why the undulating right-handed 1600 metre lap at Wattle Hill is listed as its home venue. The Wattle Hill Cup gives it 94 numbers at $8.73 from barrier eight; The Meridian gives it fifteen at $53.59, the second thinnest block on that card.

Thirty-three career starts for six wins, six seconds and four thirds. Trained by Coen McTiernan. Cyan and black quarters on a grey coat: quarters average to one tone under motion blur, so the black cap is the identifier, and the grey coat does more work than the jacket on a twilight render.
