Gone In Sixty

Based at Alex Hales's yard in Edgcote, Oxfordshire, Gone In Sixty has been a regular competitor in lower-grade races, where he has managed just 1 win from 33 Class 5 outings. His career breakthrough came at Fakenham in June 2025, and his second win followed more than a year later at Stratford-on-Avon in September 2026—evidence of how seldom victory comes his way. Kielan Woods rides him most often, a partnership that stretches to 16 races without success, suggesting there is something about this horse that resists the simple answer of finding the right jockey.

What is striking about Gone In Sixty's recent form is consistency in the trying. His last six races read 5-5-1-4-3-4, which means he finished in the top 3 just once in his last half-dozen outings, yet he keeps running. He was last seen just a day ago, still active and still showing up, which at nine years old speaks to his durability and his trainer's faith in keeping him competitive. He may never be a horse that turns heads in the parade ring, but he is the kind that the yard can rely on to take its chance and run an honest race, week after week.
