Dontdooddson

Dontdooddson is a horse that has learned the art of persistence without quite mastering the art of winning. At 13 years old, this gelding has spent most of his racing life knocking on the door—placing in nine races but crossing the finish line first in just two of his forty career starts. That's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 20 races, the sort of record that speaks to a horse who shows up, tries hard, and leaves empty-handed most of the time.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

His last victory came over a year ago at Wexford on 24 July 2025, a win that now feels like ancient history in racing terms. Since then, he has run six times without a win, collecting a couple of third-place finishes but mostly trailing home in the placings. The most recent run was just yesterday, another race, another day at the office without the satisfaction of the winner's circle. That he is still active and still racing at his age suggests his trainer, Darren Collins, believes there is something left in the tank—or at least that the horse enjoys what he does.

Jack G Gilligan, his most frequent jockey, has ridden him seven times without a win, which hints that the partnership has yet to click when it counts. Darren Collins's yard has managed four winners this season, so there is at least some form in the stable, though Dontdooddson has not been the one delivering it. For a horse this old with this record, staying in training at all is itself a small achievement; many lesser competitors are long retired. Whether Dontdooddson will find that third career win before his time is up remains an open question, but his longevity alone marks him as a fighter.
