Gomez Addams

His story starts at Galway on 28 July 2025, where he caught the eye of Henry De Bromhead's yard with a performance impressive enough to prompt an immediate purchase. De Bromhead — based at Knockeen in County Waterford and one of the most respected operations in Irish racing, having sent out 107 winners this season alone — had owned Gomez Addams for just six weeks before that Galway win, yet was already convinced he had something special. His only concern that day was whether the fast, dry ground might be too much for the horse. It wasn't. And his trainer's verdict was simple: he goes on anything, he's just a good horse.

What followed suggests that assessment was spot on. After being given time to develop — the plan after Galway was to let him grow into himself over winter — he returned and won again at Listowel just this week, on 30 May 2026. That gives him a record of two wins from three races, or a 67% win rate. To put that in perspective, most horses in training are doing well to win one in every five or six outings. Gomez Addams is winning two in every three.

The trainer noted after Galway that the horse was still quite green — inexperienced, in the way a young athlete can look raw even while clearly talented — and that there was plenty of improvement still to come. Given how good he already looks, that is either very exciting or slightly alarming depending on which side of the fence you are on. With a yard in this kind of form behind him and a horse that seems to handle any conditions, Gomez Addams looks like a name worth remembering.
