Dawn Of Liberation

That punch landed most memorably at Goodwood on 29 April 2022, when Dawn Of Liberation won a Class 2 race — one of the top tier of races in Britain. For a horse that typically competes at Class 4, that result stands out like a headline in the middle of an otherwise steady career. It had only just broken its duck a month earlier at Doncaster in late March 2022, so winning at that level so quickly after a first career victory was a genuine statement. The most recent win came at York in June 2025, which at least suggests the spark is still there, even if it has taken time to show itself again.

The conditions matter with this horse. On normal ground, Dawn Of Liberation wins 4 of every 20 races — a 20% rate that is notably better than its overall record. That figure drops sharply at Class 4 level, where it has managed just 1 win from 20 races, which suggests it tends to find those races more competitive than they might appear on paper. The sweet spot in terms of distance is a mile and three to four furlongs, where it has won 2 of 10 races — again, that 20% rate showing up when the conditions are right.

Warren Fentiman rides most often, but together they have won just once from eight races — a 12% rate that mirrors the career average without improving on it. The yard behind the horse belongs to Ruth Carr in Stillington, North Yorkshire, a trainer who has sent out 62 winners this season alone, which is a serious operation and suggests Dawn Of Liberation is in capable hands.

The recent form — finishing tenth, seventh, and sixth in the last three runs — is not encouraging, and the last win was ten months ago. But the horse raced just yesterday, which means it is still active and still competing. For a seven-year-old with a big-race win on the CV and a preference for conditions that do appear regularly on the calendar, there may yet be one more good day waiting.
