Gennadius

That one win came at Chelmsford on 15 January 2026, a track that suits his style at distances between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs. It is at those middle distances where he has done all his best work, winning 1 from 10 races at that range — a 10% win rate, which is meaningfully better than his overall record. He raced just yesterday, so he is very much in active training and being kept busy by his yard.

Gennadius is trained by Richard Hannon at Herridge in Wiltshire, one of the most productive operations in Britain this season — 118 winners sent out already tells you this is a yard that knows how to get horses winning. That context makes Gennadius's own record stand out a little. He is not from a small, quiet operation struggling for resources; he is housed in a yard firing on all cylinders, which suggests the talent simply hasn't clicked into gear as often as everyone would like.

His most regular partner in the saddle is Sean Levey, and together they have won 1 from 8 races — roughly 1 in every 8, a 12% win rate that is actually his best combination on record. That one shared win came at Chelmsford in January, which is now four months ago. His recent form reads 9-7-9-9-4-2 going back through his last six races, meaning a second place is the closest he has come since that January victory. He has been knocking on the door without quite opening it. With a busy yard behind him and a jockey who clearly knows him well, the question is simply whether Gennadius can find that winning feeling again before his four-year-old season slips away.
