Pre-Training

 

With experience training at the highest level in both hemispheres, Jeremy Gask has built a reputation for developing sound, durable racehorses. Among his achievements are Medicean Man, narrowly beaten in the Group 1 King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, and Tingirana, who missed victory by a similar margin in the SA Oaks. Medicean Man went on to win 13 races across the UK and Dubai and was still competitive at 11 years old—highlighting Jeremy’s ability to build long-term performers. Horses like Street Power, a 10-time winner who also retired sound at age 10, are further testament to that longevity.

 

A hallmark of Jeremy’s approach is patience, attention to detail, and a focus on the horse’s long-term development—not just immediate results. His success in preparing horses to win first-up, from short sprints to staying trips (including jumpers in the UK), reflects a deep understanding of how to build a fitness base that holds throughout a preparation.

 

At Abby Downs, Jeremy has chosen to concentrate on pre-training for a select group of existing and emerging trainers. This allows him to offer a highly individualised service while maintaining a small in-house racing team. The goal is simple: provide every horse in our care with the attention and professionalism it needs to thrive.
