The form figures tell a bleak story: 7-7-7-12-7. That lone twelfth place aside, the horse has essentially found its level and parked itself there. Five races, zero wins, zero places. For context, a horse that places — finishing second or third — at least shows it is mixing it with the right horses on the right days. Dream And Believe has not yet managed that.
It is trained by Daniel James Murphy at the Curragh in County Kildare, one of the heartlands of Irish racing. The yard is not short of form — 19 winners on the board this season shows Murphy knows how to get a horse to win. That makes Dream And Believe something of a puzzle. The talent is clearly in the building; it just has not found its way to this particular horse yet. Whether a change of tactics, a drop in company, or simply more time and racing experience does the trick remains to be seen. At three years old, there is still time for the name to start meaning something on a racecard.
