Since that Sandown victory 15 months ago, Earthwatch has failed to win again, though it has managed five top-3 finishes from 18 races. The recent form is underwhelming: 12th, 8th, 9th, 6th, 4th across its last six races, with the fourth-place effort coming just days ago. It is still racing, and still active, but there is little in that sequence to suggest the horse is approaching another winning opportunity. At Class 5 level — the lower tiers of racing — Earthwatch has won 1 of 6 races, which underlines that even among modest competition, victories are hard to come by.
The horse is trained by Denis Gerard Hogan at Cloughjordan in County Tipperary, a yard that has been firing this season with 54 winners already. That kind of production line suggests Hogan knows how to manage his inmates, but Earthwatch remains a puzzle: equipped with proven ability at the right trip and competitive in the lower grades, yet unable to string together the consistency needed to pay its way. At four years old with no win since July 2024, time may be running out for this one to recapture the form that won at Sandown.
