Good Work competes mainly at Class 4 level, which is broadly mid-table in the racing pyramid — not the glamour end, but competitive enough that winning takes real effort. The record at that level reads 1 win from 18 races, around 1 in every 18 attempts, and it underlines just how hard it is for a horse like this to get everything to go right on the day. Henry Brooke has partnered Good Work more than anyone else, riding together 10 times without a win between them — a combination that has placed without converting.
The yard behind the horse — Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, based in Cheshire — is having a strong season, with 43 winners sent out so far, which tells you the team knows how to win races. Good Work's recent form reads second, fourth, third, fourth, fourth, and a non-completion before that, so there is clearly still life in the horse. Raced just yesterday and still active at 10 years old, Good Work is not done yet. Whether another win is coming is another question — but then again, everyone said that before Uttoxeter.
