Canon's House

The real story with Canon's House is the partnership with Billy Garritty. The jockey has ridden it ten times and won three of those races — a 30% win rate, considerably better than the horse's overall record. That suggests Garritty knows how to get the best out of it, and the yard have clearly noticed; they keep coming back to him. Trained by Michael and David Easterby at their Sheriff Hutton yard in North Yorkshire, Canon's House comes from a stable firing on all cylinders this season with 55 winners to their name already.

The numbers hint at what works: the horse shows real aptitude over sprint distances — five furlongs or less — winning 1 of 3 races at that trip (33%), compared to the broader record. Put it in Class 5 races, however, and form dries up entirely: zero wins from six attempts. That suggests Canon's House operates best when stepped up to quality opposition or, conversely, that Class 5 company represents a level where it struggles to compete. With a year since the last win and mixed recent form, the yard will be banking on Garritty and the sprint trips to unlock another victory soon.
