What What What

Trained by the father-and-son team of Michael and David Easterby at their yard in Sheriff Hutton, North Yorkshire, What What What operates at Class 6 level — the entry-level tier of British racing, where horses compete for modest prize money and every winner matters. The Easterbys have had a productive season with 55 winners sent out, so this is a busy, functioning yard that knows how to get a horse ready. On normal ground conditions, What What What has won 2 of 15 races, a 13% win rate that is comfortably above its overall average — which tells you the horse has preferences and performs better when conditions suit.

Regular jockey Billy Garritty has been in the saddle for 12 of those 24 races and has landed 1 win together, which mirrors the horse's overall record almost exactly. That kind of consistency between horse and rider isn't nothing — it suggests Garritty knows this animal well, even if the winners haven't exactly flowed. The most recent victory came at Southwell in February 2026, about three months ago, and before that the first career win arrived at Newcastle in March 2025. Two wins, two tracks, and a decent gap between them.

What makes the current moment interesting is that What What What raced just yesterday, and the recent form figures — a win followed by a third — suggest the horse is in decent nick heading into this active spell. A record of 2 wins, 6 places from 24 races at Class 6 is the profile of a horse that earns its keep without ever quite threatening to outgrow its level. Dependable, competitive, and occasionally brilliant — on its good days, at least.
