That June victory was his most recent success, coming after a win at Dundalk last October. Between those two wins sits a stretch of mixed form — three places, two second-place finishes, and a third from his last six outings. The pattern suggests a horse that can run well on any given day but hasn't yet developed the sharpness to win regularly. Winning just one race every ten attempts leaves little room for error, yet the two places he's managed alongside those wins show he regularly gets into contention.
Colin Keane, who has ridden Daler in half his races, hasn't yet found the formula to get him home; they've combined for ten rides together with no victories. That's not uncommon with horses of modest ability — sometimes the partnership simply doesn't click, or the horse needs different handling. He's trained by G M Lyons at Dunsany, a yard that has sent out 43 winners already this season, suggesting Daler is part of a stable with genuine resources and expertise. Whether his next win comes soon or requires patience is hard to say, but his recent form and continued racing schedule indicate the yard still sees potential worth pursuing.
