Jena d'Oudairies

There is a stubborn kind of horse that keeps finishing in the places without quite getting its nose in front, and at seven years old, Jena d'Oudairies has become something of an expert at it. Across 13 races, she has won twice and placed a further six times — a respectable enough career on paper, but those recent runs tell a different story. The last six outings have produced finishes of 5th, 4th, 7th, 5th, 6th, and 5th — consistently mid-pack, consistently not quite there.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The win rate sits at around 15%, or roughly 1 in every 7 races, which is a decent return across a career. But the last victory came at Chepstow in March 2025 — over a year ago now — and there has been nothing to suggest a return to the winner's enclosure is imminent. Her first win came at Taunton in April 2024, so both career victories have come in the space of about eleven months, with a long blank stretch either side of them.

She is trained by Paul Nicholls at Ditcheat in Somerset, one of the most powerful yards in British racing. Nicholls has sent out 93 winners already this season — a number that reflects a genuinely elite operation. That context is worth sitting with: Jena d'Oudairies is competing at Class 4, which is the bread-and-butter level of the sport, well below the top races, and she is still finding it hard to win even there. With Nicholls having so many strings to his bow, a horse that has gone six races without winning at this level is not exactly demanding his undivided attention.

Freddie Gingell has ridden her six times, winning once — that gives them a win rate of roughly 1 in 6 together, or around 17%. It is a partnership that has produced a result, but not one that screams momentum right now. For Jena d'Oudairies, the question is whether there is one more win in her, or whether she has settled into the role of a horse that makes up the numbers without ever quite breaking out of the pack.
