Good Earth

The most recent dry spell is worth noting. Good Earth hasn't won in its last six races, with finishes ranging from fourth to eighteenth. That said, there have been some encouraging placings mixed in—a second place and two fourths—which suggest the horse is still capable of getting close to the winners. The last victory came four months ago at Haydock Park on April 25, 2026, so there is no sense of crisis, just a patch where luck or form has slipped slightly.

At Newmarket, Good Earth becomes genuinely interesting. The horse has won 2 of its 4 races there, a 50% win rate that stands out sharply against its overall record. That is the kind of course affinity that good judges watch closely—courses suit different horses, and Good Earth clearly thrives at Newmarket. In Class 4 races, where the horse typically competes, it has a 17% win rate (4 from 24), which is in line with its career average and shows real consistency at its preferred level. Tom Eaves, the horse's most frequent rider, has steered it to 2 wins from 19 races together, a modest partnership so far, while Michael Herrington's yard at Willoughton has been on a productive run this season with 33 winners already sent out. Good Earth is an active competitor still racing at nine years old, last seen just a day ago—a testament to its durability.
