Gordon Grey

At 6 years old, Gordon Grey has won 7 races from 31 starts, which works out to roughly 1 win in every 4 or 5 races — a solid return at the level he competes at. More striking is what he does when the ground suits him. On normal or dry ground, he wins 4 times from 11 races (36%) and 2 from 5 (40%) respectively, compared to a broader 27% win rate in Class 5 races overall. He is essentially a different, sharper horse when conditions are in his favour. Most tellingly, he is an Epsom specialist: 3 wins from just 6 races at that Surrey track. His last victory there came just over a year ago, in August 2025, suggesting he knows the place inside out and has the beating of most fields when sent there.

Baker's yard at Epsom Downs has been busy this season with 14 winners already, and Gordon Grey fits the profile of a horse with genuine talent operating just below the highest level. He arrived as a recent recruit and came through a wind operation to return to racing — a sign of a horse worth investing time in. With his current winning form, his obvious affinity for Epsom, and his knack for thriving on good ground, Gordon Grey looks like the kind of straightforward, uncomplicated horse that should keep finding his way into the winner's circle over the coming months.
