Warm In Gorey

His last win came at Thurles back in November 2024, and it has been a frustrating stretch since. In his last six races, he has finished third twice and sixth twice, with two races where he failed to place. These are not the runs of a horse in decline so much as one searching for his moment again. Most of his work has come under Tiernan Power Roche, the jockey who rode him to his sole victory together from ten shared races—a 10% win rate that hints at a working partnership without quite clicking into gear.

Trained by P J Rothwell at Tinahely in County Wicklow, Warm In Gorey belongs to a yard that has sent out 35 winners this season, suggesting a trainer with the skill to win races at this level. His first win arrived at Punchestown on 11 June 2023, after which came the breakthrough at Thurles last year. Over a career spanning more than two years, he has accumulated 19 places from those 45 races, the kind of consistent midfield finishes that keep a horse employed and owners reasonably content. With racing as his recent routine, Warm In Gorey remains an active contender on the Irish circuit, waiting for conditions and the right race to find his winning form once more.
