Due Respect
Due Respect broke through on 20 July last year with a win at Redcar, and that single victory has defined everything about this four-year-old since. Over 27 races, the horse has accumulated just one win and five places — a tally that puts it firmly at the lower end of the competitive ladder. The most recent form tells the story: placed once in the last six runs but finishing eighth twice, which suggests a horse that flickers with promise without sustaining it.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trainer Gary Rutherford, based at Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, has kept Due Respect active — it raced just yesterday — but the winning spark has not returned since that July afternoon at Redcar thirteen months ago. Rhys Elliott has been the primary pilot, riding the horse eleven times and securing that one victory together, a win rate of roughly 1 in 11. The horse runs best at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, where it has managed one win from seventeen attempts, and it typically competes in Class 6 races, the bottom rung of the competitive scale. Even at that modest level, it wins about 1 in 14 times.
This is a horse that has had its moment but struggles to repeat it. There is no shame in that — many racehorses are built to run, not to win, and Due Respect appears content to play that role. For the yard hoping for another win after such a long drought, patience remains the only real strategy.
