Henry Daly

Formerly assistant trainer to Kim Bailey and the late Tim Forster, Henry Daly succeeded the latter at Downton Hall Stables in Ludlow, Shropshire in 1998, having previously been instrumental in the design of the yard and facilities. Exclusively a National Hunt trainer, Daly is no stranger to success at the highest level, having saddled the first of his three Grade 1 winners, Behrajan, in the Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown Park as long ago as January 1999. The following December, he also saddled Edmond to win the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow and, in March 2003, won the Milday of Flete Challenge Cup and the Grand Annual Challenge Cup on successive days of the Cheltenham Festival, with Young Spartacus and Palashan, respectively.

Daly has never trained more than 43 winners in a season, having achieved that total in 2003/04, from 209 runners, at a healthy 21% strike rate. Nevertheless, he has held a training licence in his own right to have saddled in excess of 600 winners. In 2023/24, so far, Daly has 21 winners and amassed £319,144 in total prize money, placing him in thirty-eighth place in the National Hunt Trainers’ Championship table.
