Gordon Grey
Gordon Grey is a straightforward sort—the kind of horse that makes a trainer's job easier rather than harder. Now six years old, he has won 7 of his 33 races (a win rate of roughly 1 in 5), which speaks to a solid, consistent performer rather than a superstar, but consistency at the track is nothing to sniff at.
George Baker's yard at Epsom Downs has clearly found something to like in him, and the numbers show why: Gordon Grey absolutely thrives on normal ground and fast, dry ground, winning 4 times from 12 races on the former (33%) and 2 from 5 on the latter (40%). That's the kind of preference that gives a trainer ammunition—you know when to run him and when to skip a race.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Gordon Grey genuinely interesting is his dominance at one particular track. At Epsom Downs, he has won 3 of his 8 races there, a win rate of 37.5%—and this is his home yard's home course, which matters. His last win came at Epsom on 25 August 2025, though that was 13 months ago now, suggesting he may have hit a quieter patch recently. His most recent six runs tell that story: a win, then a ninth-place finish, a blank, a sixth, a fourth, and a tenth—the sort of form that would worry a the yard, though he's only just raced a day ago, so he remains an active and engaged competitor. He typically contests Class 5 races, where he has won 4 times from 15 starts (27%). Baker has noted that Gordon Grey is an uncomplicated horse who sets his own rhythm and simply wants to be left alone to do his job. That's the mark of a horse with an honest mind, and those are the ones that keep on winning.
