Gilet

Gilet is a 4-year-old with a record that tells a modest but telling story: one win from 18 races, achieved at Lingfield Park back in September 2024. That single victory came nearly two years ago, and the horse has not found the winner's enclosure since, despite a string of places that shows it regularly runs well enough to finish in the money. Over its last six races, Gilet has picked up three second places and a third, suggesting it remains competitive — just not quite competitive enough to win.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The horse runs best over shorter distances, particularly the five to six-and-a-half furlong range, where it has won 1 of its 4 races. That 25 percent win rate at those distances hints at what Gilet is capable of when conditions and company align. Trained by Warren Greatrex at Upper Lambourn — a yard that has sent out 50 winners this season — Gilet is typically ridden by Edward Greatrex, though their partnership has yet to produce a victory across nine outings together. At Class 4 level, the horse has managed eight races without winning, suggesting it may be campaigned at a grade just beyond its current reach. Gilet raced just a day ago, so it remains in active use, a steady middle-of-the-field sort that earns its keep through consistency rather than headlines.
