About

Footwork, a 4yo bay trained by C Johnston at Middleham, ran in the Newmarket R9 National Stud Handicap. He is by Footstepsinthesand out of De Veer Cliffs. So far he has collected two victories, the biggest being the £15,739 Cl4 Handicap at Haydock on 10 May 2025. He has proved a lucrative prospect for punters; backing him over his career would have generated a 122% return on investment.
