Nico de Boinville’s Future Rides
Given De Boinville’s experience on the big stages, he is likely to have a full book of rides for the main meetings of the year. De Boinville will more than likely be riding for his boss, Nicky Henderson, but he can, on occasion, be booked to ride for other trainers, particularly in handicap races.
To keep up to date with Nico de Boinville’s rides in the future, make sure to keep checking this section where you can also get any ante-post prices that may be available. It can sometimes be unlikely that early prices are available at this moment in time, so it is important to keep a close eye here to get up-to-date information as soon as it becomes available on the best betting apps.
Nico de Boinville has enjoyed a hugely successful career to date. The Englishman is most associated with riding Nicky Henderson-trained horses. Together, the pair have achieved big wins with runners such as Sprinter Sacre, Altior and Constitution Hill. He’s won lots of races at the Cheltenham Festival including a 2015 Gold Cup triumph on board Coneygree.
Primarily based in Great Britain, De Boinville has landed victories in stacks of Grade 1 encounters. He steered Might Bite to a King George VI Chase success in 2017 and has also claimed three Tingle Creek triumphs on board Altior and Jonbon (twice). As the leading stable jockey for Nicky Henderson, he invariably picks up quality rides.

Nico de Boinville Rides at the Cheltenham Festival
Nico de Boinville has had 17 winners at the Cheltenham Festival. The English rider’s first Cheltenham winner was Coral Cup-winning Whisper in 2014 and he claimed the Gold Cup a year later on board Coneygree. He has been hugely successful in Grade 1 encounters at the meeting, scoring three successes in the Queen Mother Champion Chase in 2016, 2018 and 2019. The latter two victories were on board Altior after winning on Sprinter Sacre.
In 2019, De Boinville was the top jockey at the Cheltenham meeting when recording three winners. He has profited from having Nicky Henderson-trained horses such as Constitution Hill who won the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle in 2022 before following it up with a Champion Hurdle success in 2023. He was back in the winners’ enclosure in 2025 when winning on board Jango Baie in the Arkle Challenge Trophy.
Nico de Boinville Rides at the Grand National
Nico de Boinville has never ridden a Grand National winner, although he’s been on board several horses in the race. It’s not a race where the jockey has ever had a leading contender, with Nicky Henderson generally associated with speed horses compared to long-distance chasers. However, he has achieved wins at the Aintree meeting in other races. He also won the Grand National Hurdle Stakes at Far Hills in the USA when riding Brain Power to victory in 2019.
Nico de Boinville Rides at the King George
Nico de Boinville landed victory in the King George VI Chase in 2017. On board Might Bite, he claimed his only success in this Boxing Day encounter to date. However, he’s often got a fancied runner, including the 2025 renewal. On that occasion, he rode Jango Baie for trainer Nicky Henderson, and the horse ended up finishing fourth as the 9/4 joint-favourite. It’s worth keeping an eye out for what he’s riding in the future.
Nicolai W. Chastel de Boinville, or Nico de Boinville, was born in Baughurst, Hampshire, in England on the 14th August 1989. Despite his family having no connection to horse racing, de Boinville became enamored with the sport in his teens and decided to try to make a career as a jockey despite having very limited experience in the equine world.
De Boinville attended private school in his early years, and although he had started studying politics at university, he would finally get his first chance to experience horse racing up close when spending time with French-based trainer, Richard Gibson on his gap year.
He would eventually return to Britain with even more determination to become a jockey but was made to start at the very bottom by becoming a stable lad for Nicky Henderson. During his time at Seven Barrows, De Boinville had the opportunity to learn his trade from the likes of AP McCoy and Barry Geraghty, something that has served him well in the years since.
De Boinville eventually worked himself up to be the backup rider to Geraghty, but his name was originally made by being the regular work rider of the brilliant Sprinter Sacre.
Since Geraghty retired from the saddle, the sky has been the limit for the now 33-year-old De Boinville. Henderson put his trust in the young rider, and he was rewarded with a string of top-riding performances in the biggest races of the season, marking him out as a name to watch when making wagers at horse racing betting sites.
Despite having such close ties with Henderson, De Boinville’s first experience of Cheltenham Festival victory came in 2015 when he partnered Coneygree to become the first novice chaser to win the Gold Cup for over 40 years.
From here, it was all about partnering Henderson’s stable stars in the big Grade 1 races, and in 2016 he partnered Altior and Sprinter Sacre to victories at Cheltenham. He would go on to win two more times on Altior at the festival, and then win twice again on the brilliant Shishkin in the Supreme Novices and the Arkle.
This season De Boinville has once again found a superstar to partner for Henderson. Constitution Hill is arguably the biggest name in racing at the moment and is a short odds-on favourite to follow up last year’s Supreme Novices win by bagging the Champion Hurdle.
If Britain’s banker for 2023 were to win, it would be De Boinville’s first win in the race and would move him on to a total of 16 wins at the festival in his career.

Has Nico de Boinville won the Grand National?
No. Despite his many top-level successes in the sport, De Boinville is yet to add a Grand National win to his CV. This, in part at least, is down to the amazing fact that his boss, Nicky Henderson, is also yet to taste victory in the Aintree showpiece.
