Gearing's Point
Gearing's Point is a consistent middle-distance performer who has found his stride on fast, dry ground and over his favoured distance of a mile and three-quarters. The eight-year-old has won five times from 36 races, a win rate of roughly one in every seven, and has shown particular aptitude for conditions that suit his running style. On fast, firm ground, he has won three of his 11 races (27%), nearly double his overall win rate, suggesting that muddy or soft surfaces genuinely work against him. His best distance is 1m3f to 1m4f, where he has recorded four wins from 16 races (25%) — a meaningful difference that points to a horse who knows where he is most effective.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Sheena West at Lewes in West Sussex, Gearing's Point has been a steady earner at Class 6 level, where he has won four of 17 races (24%). His most recent victory came at Brighton on 22 June 2026, around six weeks ago, but his form has slipped noticeably since. In his last six outings he has managed only one second-place finish and one third, with three runs outside the money — not the profile of a horse in sparkling form. George Bass, his most frequent jockey, has partnered him in 11 races, winning twice (18%), a modest return that suggests the horse performs differently for different riders. At eight years old, Gearing's Point remains active and competitive, but he appears to be a horse who wins his races when conditions and distance align, rather than one capable of breaking through at the next level. Watch him on a firm track over his preferred distance and he becomes interesting; elsewhere, he is simply doing his job.
