The foundation for that run was laid at Haydock Park in April 2023, where Gregory scored his first career win in a Class 2 race — essentially a high-quality stepping stone just below the very top. It turned out to be a launchpad. Three wins in the space of seven weeks across Haydock, Goodwood, and Ascot suggested a horse hitting its absolute peak, and that purple patch will define his reputation whatever comes next.
What suits Gregory is reasonably clear. He thrives on normal ground — 4 wins from 7 races in those conditions, which works out to 57%, well over half the time he lines up. He also does his best work at a mile and three to a mile and four furlongs, winning 2 of 3 races at that trip, a 67% record that tells you the distance is squarely in his wheelhouse. He is not a horse you want to see on a soggy track or over the wrong distance.
The partnership with jockey James Doyle is an interesting wrinkle. Despite riding Gregory five times, Doyle has yet to win on him — 0 from 5 — though it would be unfair to read too much into that given the calibre of races Gregory typically contests. More relevant is what happened just this week: Gregory won at York on 13 June 2026, snapping what the recent form figures suggest had been a winless spell. That form — finishing seventh before a run of thirds and a fifth — makes the York win feel like a timely reminder of what this horse can do.
Trained by the Gosden yard at Newmarket, which has sent out 140 winners already this season, Gregory is in very capable hands. A yard firing at that volume does not run horses without purpose.
