Timeline
Helen Marjorie Johnson Houghton (née Walwyn; 8 November 1910 – 4 December 2012) was a British racehorse trainer.
She was the first woman to train a Classic flat races winner.
Her father, Colonel Fulke Walwyn, was an officer in the Royal Welch Fusiliers, and Master of the Monmouth Hounds from 1922 to 1931.
Her mother died when Helen and Fulke were still young.
She was educated at home.
After her father married one of their governesses, she lived with an aunt in Cheshire.
Alongside her husband, she trained horses in Cheshire.
Her husband served with the Cheshire Yeomanry in the Second World War.
The couple bought the Woodway stable near Blewbury from trainer Francis Cobb in 1945, and moved to Berkshire (now Oxfordshire).
She took over the running of the Woodway stable after her husband was killed in a hunting accident in 1952.
Her horse Gilles de Retz won the 2,000 Guineas in 1956, but her name did not appear in the record books as the Jockey Club did not recognise women trainers at that time and the horse ran under the name of her assistant, Charles Jerdein, instead.
Her horse Gilles de Retz won the 2,000 Guineas in 1956 under Charles Jerdein's name, at odds of 50–1.
Other successful horses included
While she continued to train the horses, the licence was officially held by Colonel Dick Poole, then Charles Jerdein, then her cousin Peter Walwyn, before her son Fulke Johnson Houghton took over in 1961.
The Jockey Club refused to issue training licences to women until Florence Nagle won a court case in 1966, and so the licence was held by a series of male assistants.
She was one of the first three women to be elected as a member of the Jockey Club in December 1977, alongside Priscilla Hastings and Ruth Wood (née Primrose), Countess of Halifax.
She was born in Wrexham, the twin sister of Fulke Walwyn, later also a horse trainer.
Her achievements were belatedly recognised by the Jockey Club in December 1977, when she was one of the first three women to be elected as a member, alongside Priscilla Hastings and Ruth Wood (née Primrose), Countess of Halifax.
Helen Johnson Houghton's achievements were belatedly recognised by the Jockey Club when she was one of the first women to be elected as a member in 1977.
She was survived by her son and daughter.
The licence has been held by her granddaughter Eve Johnson Houghton since 1999.
