Gweedore

The most striking number in Gweedore's record is this: 3 wins from just 7 races at Ayr, making it one of those rare horses that seems to genuinely love a particular track. That is almost one win in every two visits, which at Class 2 level is remarkable. Add in two wins at Musselburgh and you start to see a pattern — this is a horse that thrives in Scotland, trained by Katie Scott from her yard in the Scottish Borders, barely an hour from both courses. That familiarity clearly means something. Scott's team has sent out 17 winners this season alone, and Gweedore has been part of that story, winning at Musselburgh as recently as November 2025.

The horse also has clear preferences that its team has learned to exploit. On slightly soft, wet ground it wins 3 races from 9 — that is 33%, or one in three, which is an exceptional return. And at distances between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs, it has won 3 from just 6 races, a 50% win rate that is genuinely elite for a horse competing at this level. That is not luck — that is a horse being placed with intelligence and care.

Jockey Jason Hart has been the regular partner, riding Gweedore in 13 races and winning 3 of them — roughly 1 in every 4 rides together, better than the horse's overall average. The highlight of their partnership, and arguably of Gweedore's whole career, came in August 2023 when they won the Newmarket July course's Class 2 feature — a prestigious occasion at one of Britain's most famous venues.

The recent form reads 7-1-8-7-7-2, suggesting a horse that has had some quieter runs since that Musselburgh win in November, but the second place in there is a reminder that the ability has not gone anywhere. At nine, still active, still competitive at the top tier of British handicap racing — Gweedore is the kind of horse a trainer builds a yard around.
