What makes this interesting, rather than simply disappointing, is where the horse is trained. Nicky Henderson's yard at Upper Lambourn is one of the most powerful in Britain, having sent out 85 winners already this season — that is a staggering number and puts Henderson firmly among the elite handlers in the country. Horses in that yard are well looked after and well placed, so the fact that Jetaway Holiday hasn't troubled the judge yet suggests the team simply hasn't found the right opportunity, or the horse is still finding its feet. At five years old, there is time.
The one genuinely positive note is that Jetaway Holiday raced just yesterday, which means this profile is being written mid-campaign. Whatever the yard has planned, it is clearly still live and being actively tested. Sometimes a horse just needs that one race where everything clicks — the right ground, the right trip, the right day. Henderson has made a career out of finding those moments for horses others had written off. Whether Jetaway Holiday becomes one of those stories remains to be seen.
