Ghiani has ridden Diomed Spirit 14 times and won on him 4 times, a win rate of 29 per cent that stands well above the horse's overall record. When Ghiani is in the saddle, things happen. That kind of partnership doesn't emerge by accident; it speaks to a jockey who understands the horse's rhythm and knows how to get the best out of him. Trainer Chris Gordon, based at Morestead in Hampshire, has built a strong yard this season with 51 winners already sent out, and Diomed Spirit fits the profile of a horse that will chip in regular victories without needing to dominate.
The horse also has a genuine course specialist quality at Wolverhampton, where he has won 2 of his 5 races — a far more impressive record than his overall tally suggests. This is the kind of detail that matters in racing: a horse that loves one particular track often tells you something about how it runs best, and it's a card in the locker for the yard who know where to find him another winner. His last victory came just over two weeks ago at Brighton on 7 August 2026, so he remains an active, current performer. With Marco Ghiani booked regularly and the yard in form, there is every reason to expect Diomed Spirit to add to his tally before the season is out.
