His one career win came at Gowran Park in Ireland on 2 April 2025, and his recent form tells an interesting story. Reading his last five races from most recent backwards — 7th, 3rd, 3rd, 2nd, 1st — you can see a horse that found the top of his game and has since been searching for it again. That 7th-place finish most recently is the one blip in an otherwise tidy record, and it will be what his trainer is most keen to move past.
That trainer is Dan Skelton, based in Alcester in Warwickshire, and he is operating at a remarkable level right now. His yard has sent out 185 winners this season alone — a number that puts him firmly among the leading trainers in the sport. Gambino is one cog in a very well-oiled machine, and being trained by someone operating with that kind of momentum is no small thing. Horses from that yard tend to be placed with care and pointed at races they can win.
Gambino raced just one day ago, so he is very much in the middle of his campaign. With his level of experience still relatively low, there is every reason to think more wins are coming. The key question is whether he can recapture the form that got him to Gowran Park in the first place.
