The most recent victory came at Hexham in March 2025, a full 13 months ago now, and before that the first win arrived at Listowel back in June 2024. Two wins in total, and neither of them at the highest level — but the consistent placing tells you this is a horse that tries hard and rarely has a bad day. The recent form of 3-2-3-3 (ignoring one blank run) shows a horse that is always thereabouts, always competitive, just not quite finding that extra gear when it matters most.
What makes the situation interesting is who is training this horse. W P Mullins — Willie Mullins — is one of the most celebrated names in jump racing, and his yard at Muine Bheag in Co Carlow has sent out 230 winners already this season alone. That is a quite extraordinary number and tells you this is an operation at the very top of the sport. Road To Home might not be the star of the stable, but being part of that team means it is prepared and placed with care. Regular jockey Brian Hayes has ridden the horse six times without a win between them, though the placed finishes suggest the partnership isn't going badly — the wins just haven't come.
Road To Home raced just one day ago and is clearly in good enough shape to keep going. A horse still active, still placing, still trained by one of the best yards in the business — the next win may be overdue, but it doesn't look far away.
