Port Hedland

His most recent victory came at Bath three months ago, on 05 June 2026, which remains his most recent trip to the winner's circle. Before that, he had broken through at Brighton back in May 2025, suggesting a horse that needs time and the right conditions to get his head in front. When he does race these days, Port Hedland tends to compete at Class 6 level—the lower rungs of British racing—where he has won 1 from 15 starts, a win rate of roughly 7%. His recent form shows the familiar pattern of a horse hovering on the edge: a win followed by a series of eighth-place finishes and the occasional show, with a fifth-place effort thrown in to suggest he hasn't completely lost his edge.

Jack Doughty is his most regular partner in the saddle, and they have a working partnership of nine races that has produced one victory together—an 11% win rate between rider and horse that slightly outpaces Port Hedland's overall record. The gelding races under the care of trainer Tony Carroll at Cropthorne in Worcestershire, a yard that has been plenty busy this season, sending out 136 winners. Port Hedland remains active, having raced as recently as a day ago, so he is still very much part of the fixture list. He may not be one for the record books, but he remains a working member of the squad.
