General Clermont
General Clermont is a ten-year-old with the kind of racing record that speaks to a horse plugging away at the lower end of the sport with modest rewards. Three wins from 44 races—that is roughly one victory every 14 or 15 attempts—tells you this is a horse that has earned its place through consistency rather than brilliance. His last success came at Wexford on 7 August 2024, now nearly two years in the past. In that time he has pieced together three places from six races, finishing sixth most recently, just a day ago. Still active and still turning up to compete, General Clermont is a proper trier.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's racing career began with a win at Killarney in August 2023, and the most productive partnership has been with jockey Gavin Brouder, who has steered him to victory in three of their 20 rides together—a 15% win rate when paired, meaningfully better than his overall record. Trainer D E Fitzgerald's yard has sent out just one winner this season, which puts General Clermont among modest operation, the kind of outfit that finds value in honest, hard-working horses. At ten years old and with nearly two years since his last victory, General Clermont is a horse well into his racing life, still competing but no longer in the business of winning regularly. What keeps him on the track at this stage is the kind of determination that earns occasional prize money and keeps a horse busy, if not spectacularly successful.
