About
Gearing Up is a 4yo dark bay/bronze horse from the United States trained by George R. Arnold II. He is by Bravazo out of Switching Gears and has captured three victories to date. On September 11, 2026 at Churchill Downs he earned his biggest triumph, taking the $134,000 purse in Race 7. The gelding has been a reliable money-maker for bettors; a lifelong backer would have seen a 200% ROI.
