Eric Gorcombe
Six races, zero wins, zero places — and yet Eric Gorcombe keeps turning up. At seven years old, this horse has had plenty of chances to get off the mark, and so far none of them have stuck. A win rate of 0 from 6 tells its own story, though the recent form offers a small glimmer: a fifth and a fourth in its last two completed races suggest it is at least starting to run closer to the action, even if the finishing line remains elusive.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Most of its racing has come at Class 4 level — the bread-and-butter tier of the sport, where the competition is real enough but not elite. Four races at that level, zero wins. That's not a horse that has been punching above its weight; it's a horse that has simply not yet found a way to win at any level.
Robert Walford trains Eric Gorcombe from his yard at Okeford Fitzpaine in Dorset, and the operation is clearly capable — ten winners on the board already this season shows the team knows how to get a horse ready to win. That makes Eric Gorcombe something of an outlier in the yard, a horse that hasn't yet translated that preparation into a result. Whether it's a matter of time, conditions, or finding the right race, Walford will be working to unlock whatever is needed. The horse is active right now, so answers may not be far away.
