Dream Of Ithaca
Four races in and Dream Of Ithaca is still waiting for that first taste of success — no wins, no places, and finishing positions of 13th, 7th, 10th, and 4th working backwards through its career so far. That's a tough record to look at, but the direction of travel at least tells a more encouraging story. The 4th-place finish, its most recent run just yesterday, is the closest this three-year-old has come to troubling the judge, and there's a reasonable case that things are slowly clicking into place.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
John Gallagher trains Dream Of Ithaca from a yard based in Chastleton, Oxfordshire, and the operation has been in decent form this season — eight winners sent out already, which shows there's no shortage of ability in the string. Dream Of Ithaca has done most of its racing at Class 4 level, which is a solid but unspectacular tier of racing, the kind where you'd hope to make your mark before stepping up the ladder. Three runs at that level and nothing to show for it yet, but the horse is only three years old and still very much learning the game.
Whether yesterday's near-miss sparks a change in fortune remains to be seen. The honest truth is that zero wins from four races is a difficult record to spin, but a horse that finishes 4th after a career that started with a 13th is at least heading in the right direction. Gallagher will be hoping the penny drops soon.
