Supreme Gift

The standout moment of the career so far came at Market Rasen in November 2024, when Supreme Gift won a Class 2 race — one of the top races in Britain — showing that this is not just a horse content to pick up minor prizes. That win remains the most recent, coming around 16 months ago, and the more recent form figures of 5, 8, 13 and 12 suggest the horse has found it harder since. That said, there is a fifth-place finish tucked in there too, a reminder that Supreme Gift has not fallen off a cliff entirely.

One of the most interesting threads in this story is Ascot. Of all the tracks in the country, Supreme Gift has won 2 from just 3 races there — that is an extraordinary record at one of the most prestigious venues in British racing. Whether it is the track shape, the ground, or simply good timing, something about Ascot suits this horse. The wet ground numbers are similarly eye-catching: 2 wins from 5 races on soft or muddy surfaces, a 40% win rate that dwarfs anything the horse achieves in other conditions.

Jockey Miss Alice Stevens has been an important part of the picture, winning 2 of their 6 races together — roughly 1 in 3, which is a strong partnership by any measure. Behind the scenes, trainer E McNamara operates out of Rathkeale in County Limerick, and the yard has sent out 22 winners already this season, suggesting a stable that is very much in form.

Supreme Gift is currently active, having raced just seven days ago, and most often competes at Class 3 level, where the horse has won 2 from 8 races. At nine years old, this is a horse deep into its career, but with a Class 2 win on the record and that remarkable Ascot record to point to, there is clearly still something here worth following — particularly if the ground comes up wet.
