The recent form makes for tough reading: 8-6-3-7-4-8, with that third-place finish standing out as the one bright spot in an otherwise frustrating sequence. It competes most often at Class 4 level — the kind of mid-tier races where you'd expect a horse of its experience to be competitive — but in 3 races at that level, it is yet to win. At a certain point, that record stops looking like bad luck and starts raising honest questions about whether a win is coming at all.
Jockey James Best has partnered Daring To Dream more than anyone else, riding it in 5 of its 8 races, and the pair are still waiting for their moment together. Trainer Harriet Dickin, who operates out of a small yard in Midford, Somerset, has sent out 3 winners this season, so the operation clearly knows how to get a horse to the front. The puzzle is that Daring To Dream hasn't been one of them. For now, it remains exactly what its name suggests — a work in progress, still chasing something it hasn't quite managed to catch.
