At three years old, Dawn Romance is trained by M D O'Callaghan at The Curragh in Co. Kildare, one of Irish racing's most storied addresses. The yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 18 winners, so Dawn Romance is working with a team that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. A win rate of roughly 1 in every 7 races is modest, but for a young horse still learning her trade, what matters more is the consistency — she keeps turning up and finishing close.
Her recent form makes for interesting reading. After that Naas victory, she has had two outings that did not go to plan, finishing well down the field on both occasions. But she raced just one day ago, which means whatever happened last time out is almost immediately relevant — there is no waiting around to see how she bounces back. For a three-year-old, the ability to race regularly and keep coming back is itself a small virtue. The story of Dawn Romance this season is still very much being written.
