Mcgregors Charge
McGregors Charge is a horse that knows how to find a placing without quite managing to find the winner's enclosure. The eight-year-old has earned 8 places from 20 races and holds a single career victory—a win at Perth on 16 August 2025 that now sits a year in the past. That single success came at the lower levels of racing, where McGregors Charge typically competes, winning 1 from 13 races at Class 5 tracks (roughly an 8% win rate there). It is a record that tells the story of a genuine racehorse, but one whose winning days appear largely behind it.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's recent form makes for sobering reading. Over the last six runs, McGregors Charge has finished second, fourth, fifth, and seventh, with no wins and only one placing in that stretch. It last raced just a day ago, so the yard clearly believes there is still something to run for. Ben Godfrey, the jockey most often in the saddle, has partnered the horse 12 times without a victory—a partnership that has not yielded the results either would have hoped for. Trainer Polly Gundry, based at Ottery St Mary in Devon, has managed to saddle 4 winners this season, but McGregors Charge has not been among them. For a horse now twelve months between wins and searching for consistency, the challenge is to find a race where everything clicks into place in the way it did at Perth last August.
