About
Go West is an 8yo bay trained by P F Nicholls. He is by the stallion Westerner out of the mare Topathistle and has recorded six victories in his career. On 1st Feb 2026 at Musselburgh, Go West achieved his most valuable win, taking the $29,511.00 Cl3 Nvhcpch prize. The horse has proved a profit‑maker for bettors; a backer who held him throughout would have earned a 12% return on investment.
