Bio
A homebred for historic Calumet Farm, Gear Jockey was graded stakes-placed twice as a 2-year-old. In his stakes debut, he finished third in the Dixiana Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland on Oct. 6, 2019. He followed that performance with a third-place finish in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Presented by Coolmore America on Nov. 1.
Despite those performances, Gear Jockey was still a maiden. He did not win his first race until Jan. 21, 2021, when he won a maiden special weight event at Gulfstream Park by half a length.

A few months later, Gear Jockey won his first graded stakes race. In the Grade 3 FanDuel Turf Sprint Stakes at Kentucky Downs on Sept. 11, he rated off the lead early, then hit the front at the top of the stretch and held on for the victory. With that win, Gear Jockey earned a place in the starting gate for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar on Nov. 6.
