Gressington

There is a horse in Katie Scott's yard in the Scottish Borders that quietly gets the job done more often than most people notice. Gressington, a five-year-old trained out of Galashiels, has won 4 races from 32 outings — that's roughly 1 win for every 8 races — and has picked up a place on nine other occasions, meaning it has given its the yard something to smile about in nearly 41% of all its races. That is a solid record for a horse operating at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Scott's yard has been in good form this season, sending out 17 winners, and Gressington has played its part. Its most recent win came at Newcastle on 29 December 2025, and while it has gone seven months without adding to that tally, the horse raced just yesterday, so it is clearly still an active and busy member of the string.

The numbers become more interesting when you look at where Gressington performs best. On fast, dry ground, it wins 2 races from every 7 it runs — a 29% win rate that stands well above its overall average and tells you this is a horse that genuinely comes alive when the sun has been out. Similarly, at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, it has won 3 from 16 races, or roughly 1 in every 5, which suggests its trainer knows exactly where to place it for the best results.

Jockey Callum Rodriguez brings out something extra in this horse. The two have partnered up ten times and won three of them together — that's a 30% win rate, meaning nearly 1 in every 3 rides ends in victory. That is a remarkable stat in a sport where even the best combinations win far less often, and it suggests a genuine understanding between horse and rider.

Recent form reads 4-7-10-8-11-6, a sequence that shows Gressington has been finishing mid-pack rather than threatening the front. The drought since December will be the key question mark. But with the right ground underfoot, Rodriguez in the saddle, and a trainer who clearly knows how to keep horses ticking over — Scott's 17 winners this season are proof of that — Gressington remains the kind of horse that can pop up and surprise you on the right day.
