The most striking partnership is with Keithen Kennedy, his usual rider. Kennedy has partnered him in 10 races and won 3 of them — a 30% win rate that is nearly three times better than the horse's overall record. That kind of gap suggests Kennedy understands how to ride him, whether through pace judgment, race craft, or simply finding the right races. Kennedy is clearly his best match.
His last win came at Bellewstown on 4 July 2025, which now sits 14 months in the past. Since then, he has run six times without a victory, returning fourths, a second, and a couple of double-figure finishes that hint at tougher assignments. That dry spell is meaningful — a horse aged six who hasn't won in over a year can drift toward the unfashionable end of the handicap, though his most recent outing was just a day ago, so Mark Fahey's yard in County Kildare clearly still believes there is racing in him. At Dundalk specifically, he has won 2 of 18 races, which is modest but marks him as more effective there than elsewhere. Overall, Daonethatgotaway is a journeyman with a win rate that suggests he belongs in competitive races, not top-class ones, but he has shown he can deliver when conditions and company align.
