Robusto
- Sire: Churchill Dam: Blackgold Fairy
Robusto has recently been retired through injury.
He was originally bought in 2024 by Patrick Veitch and has proven a grand servant for his owners over the last two years. Sent into training with Eve Johnson-Houghton, he landed his first win in the RaceShare silks at Kempton in July 2024, when stepping up to two miles for the first time. After a series of consistent performances (placed second on six occasions), he added to his tally in April 2026 at Wolverhampton and again at Leicester in the summer. A very popular horse who will be missed on the racecourse.
- Trainer Eve Johnson Houghton
- Location Woodway, Blewbury
- Purchased Tattersalls Horses-in-Training Sale, Newmarket

News stories
One of RaceShare’s most popular horses, Robusto, got his head in front for the first time on turf at Leicester last Sunday.
Having been a winner on the all-weather twice in RaceShare silks - and given his split rating (higher on artificial surfaces) - it was great to see him put in his best effort yet on the turf at Chester a month ago. Sent off at 17/2, he stayed on really well in the home straight there to finish a close third, beaten only half a length - and he might have won with an extra half a furlong.
We were therefore very hopeful he would go a couple better at Leicester off an unchanged mark and he did that on no uncertain terms, pulling clear of his rivals in the closing stages to win comfortably. Harry Vigors, a talented young apprentice who rode him to victory at Wolverhampton in April, was on board - proving it to be a successful partnership once again.
Robusto may reappear quickly at Chepstow on Tuesday and hopefully there is plenty more to come from him.
The plan
Robusto has recently been retired.
Trainer: Eve Johnson Houghton
