Gore Point
Gore Point has found his level as a reliable midfield performer with an exceptional talent for one particular racecourse. The six-year-old has won 7 of his 21 races—a solid 33% win rate—but the real story lies in his dominance at Newton Abbot, where he has won 5 of 8 races. That is a 62% win rate at a single track, the kind of statistic that makes him genuinely dangerous when he lines up there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes Gore Point worth watching right now is his recent hot streak. He has won 4 of his last 6 races, with three placed efforts sandwiched around those victories. This is genuine, active form rather than a horse coasting on old credentials. He raced just yesterday and is clearly a fixture in Anthony Honeyball's busy Dorset yard, which has sent out 51 winners already this season. Honeyball knows exactly what Gore Point wants: fast, dry ground brings out his best, and the horse has won 3 of 6 races when conditions suit him that way. The trainer is keen to keep cracking on with him while the ground remains good.
Sam Twiston-Davies, who has ridden Gore Point for three of those seven wins, understands the horse's preferences too. Gore Point typically competes at lower levels—Class 5 races—where he wins just over one race in every five attempts, but he is no mug. A horse that can win half its races on suitable ground and dominate a single track is always worth a second look. Newton Abbot remains his fortress, and as long as the ground stays firm, he will be dangerous every time he returns there.
