Doralee

The key to Doralee's form is ground conditions. On fast, dry ground she has won 2 of her 9 races (22%)—double her overall win rate—which tells you that Redcar's typically firm surface suits her running style. She typically races in Class 6 events, the lower tiers of British racing, and finds winning hard even at that level (1 win from 13 races). William Pyle has ridden her seven times, winning once, and they work together more often than any other partnership, though 14% is hardly an inspiring return. She is trained by David and Nicola Barron at Maunby in North Yorkshire, a yard that has sent out 15 winners already this season and knows how to get the best from their runners. Over her last six races Doralee has shown up and performed—a pair of seconds, a third and a fourth suggest she is not disgraced when she runs—though a win remains elusive in that sequence. Her recent record is the pattern of a modest, genuine racehorse: not a star, but solid, consistent, and with a clear liking for one particular track.
