General Clermont

At ten years old, General Clermont is very much a seasoned campaigner — a horse that has been around the block enough times to know the drill. With 3 wins from 41 races, that's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 14 outings, which tells you this isn't a horse that dominates races. But longevity at this level has its own kind of value, and General Clermont has been consistently competitive: 14 places alongside those 3 wins means the horse has finished in the frame in more than 40% of its career races, which is actually a decent return for a horse operating at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The partnership with jockey Gavin Brouder is the most striking number in this profile. In 20 races together, Brouder has ridden General Clermont to all 3 of its career wins — that's 3 wins from 20 rides, or 15%, which is more than double the horse's overall win rate. That's not a coincidence. When those two are paired up, something clicks, and the record suggests it's worth paying attention to when they line up together.

The last win came at Wexford in August 2024 — now 22 months ago — and the recent form makes for sobering reading: no win in the last 6 races, with a ninth-place finish sitting in the middle of an otherwise modest sequence of twos, fours, and sixes. The second-place finishes show the horse is still running competitively and hitting the frame, but the winner's enclosure has proven elusive. At ten, horses don't tend to suddenly rediscover a winning habit without something changing — a new trip, a different surface, or simply the right race on the right day.

Trainer D.E. Fitzgerald's yard has sent out just 1 winner this season, so this isn't a stable firing on all cylinders right now. Still, the fact that General Clermont raced just one day ago and remains active shows the team believe there's still something to aim at. For a horse with 41 races on the clock, still turning up and placing in competitive company is no small thing. The question is whether one more win is genuinely on the cards — or whether those Wexford celebrations in August 2024 will end up being the final chapter of this horse's winning story.
