Bobby Dassler

His best performances come at distances between a mile and a furlong and a mile and two furlongs, where he has won 3 of 27 races, roughly double his overall win rate. This is where his the yard believe they have the best chance of getting him back into the winner's enclosure. When racing at the lower levels typical of his career — Class 6 races — he has won just 1 of 22 races, which underlines how competitive racing can be even at the grass roots. Based with trainer Barry John Murphy in Carmarthenshire, Bobby Dassler remains active and races regularly, though the partnership with jockey Darragh Keenan has yielded no wins from five attempts. At this stage of his career, he appears to be the sort of honest, hard-working horse that graces tracks week in and week out but rarely gets his head in front — valuable to his the yard as a regular runner, but unlikely to deliver the kind of memorable days that racing fans treasure.
