Due To Henry

Due To Henry is a five-year-old with a simple problem: he is a horse built for wet weather, and British racing has not been giving him enough of it. With three wins from 18 races overall, he sits at a modest win rate of roughly 1 in 6, but the numbers tell a much more interesting story when you look at the ground. On wet or muddy going, Due To Henry wins 1 in every 2 races (2 wins from 4 attempts). On normal or faster ground, he barely wins at all. It is the kind of stark contrast that makes a trainer's job simple in theory but frustrating in practice: wait for rain.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Trained by Eve Johnson Houghton at Blewbury in Oxfordshire, Due To Henry broke through first at Lingfield Park in June 2024 and went on to win again at Windsor and then at Newbury in September that year, both times on soft ground. Since then, nothing. He has not won in his last six races, with his most recent outing just yesterday ending in fifth place. That is now almost two years without a win. The yard itself is in good form with 42 winners this season, but Due To Henry has become a waiting game—one that hinges entirely on the weather forecast.

Charles Bishop, his most frequent jockey, has had no luck aboard him, recording 0 wins from 5 rides together. At Class 4 level (racing's lower echelons), Due To Henry manages only 1 win from 6 attempts. He is the kind of horse that keeps the yard hopeful rather than optimistic: game enough to win, but only under very specific conditions. Right now, he is active and racing regularly, which suggests the team still believes a wet-ground opportunity will arrive. When it does, the form book suggests Due To Henry will be dangerous.
