Gerrit's Gem
Gerrit's Gem is a six-year-old with a knack for Cork that belies modest overall form. The horse has won 3 races from 22 starts — roughly one win every seven attempts — but that flat win rate hides a genuine strength: at Cork specifically, it has won 3 of its 6 races there, a 50% success rate that makes it genuinely dangerous when the race takes place on that track. Elsewhere, the numbers are far tighter, which tells you this is a horse that knows one course inside out and struggles to replicate that form anywhere else.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The last 13 months have been tough. Gerrit's Gem's most recent win came at Cork on 10 September 2025, and it has not found the winner's enclosure since. Over the last six races it has managed a second place and a couple of thirds and fourths, respectable finishes but nothing to write home about. Most recently, just a day ago, it finished second, so there is at least something to build on — the horse is still in the mix and clearly still trying.
The best chance of another win lies in a return to Cork at the right distance. Gerrit's Gem performs best over 1m1f to 1m2f, winning 1 of its 3 races at that trip, and combine that with Cork's obvious suitability and you have a recipe for success. This is a horse that is past its peak but has a real identity: a Cork specialist that knows how to win on its home ground. Find the right race there and you might see it back in the winner's circle.
