Warm In Gorey
There are horses built for the big occasion, and there are horses built for consistency — and then there's Warm In Gorey, who has carved out a career doing something altogether more modest but no less admirable: turning up, race after race, and nearly getting there. Across 43 races, this eight-year-old has won just twice — that's a win rate of around 1 in every 22 races — but has placed 19 times, meaning it has finished in the money in nearly half its career. That's a horse that runs hard every time without always having the finishing kick to seal the deal.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by P J Rothwell out of Tinahely in County Wicklow, Warm In Gorey comes from a yard that has sent out 35 winners this season alone, so there's clearly plenty of ability in that stable. The horse picked up its first win at Punchestown in June 2023, and then — after a gap of well over a year — added a second at Thurles in November 2024. That second win came some 20 months ago now, and the six races since have produced no victories, though the recent form shows a third and two thirds in the last three completed runs, which at least suggests the horse is competitive and placing consistently again.
Jockey Tiernan Power Roche has been the regular partner, riding Warm In Gorey in 10 of its races and winning once together — a 10% win rate, or 1 in every 10 rides. Given the horse's overall record, that's actually not far off what you'd expect. Warm In Gorey raced just one day ago, so this is a horse very much in active campaign, and with placing form ticking along nicely, the team will be hoping a third career win isn't too far away.
