Eve Johnson Houghton
Royal Ascot & Group One Winning Trainer!

Eve is a leading racehorse trainer, based on the Berkshire downs above the village of Blewbury. ​The historic Woodway Stables boast 200 acres of untouched turf downland gallops and a seven furlong all weather gallop making it an ideal location for horses to thrive and winners to be trained.  

​​​​

Following in her family's highly successful footsteps, Eve is the daughter of Fulke Johnson Houghton who trained at Woodway for over 40 years, having taken over from his mother Helen who in turn had taken over from her husband, Gordon. 

 

Eve started training in 2007, and has been on an upward trajectory over the past decade, year upon year improving the quality of her string of horses - constantly sourcing useful performers from the lower end of the market.  She has done particularly well in recent seasons with her two-year-olds and has become a prominent force on the Flat in recent years, achieving notable successes at Royal Ascot thanks to Accidental Agent and smart two-year -old Chipotle.  ​

​

Most recently she achieved Group 1 success with her best 2 year old to date -Zavateri, who is currently 4 wins from 4 starts, OR 113 & has earned over £350,000 in his first 4 starts.  He was purchased for just 35,000 gns.
