Dream On Baby

That second win came at Kempton Park on 24 November 2025, in a Class 1 race — one of the top races in Britain. Plenty of horses run their whole careers without ever getting near that level, let alone winning at it. Dream On Baby not only got there but delivered on the day, which puts it in a genuinely select group. The first win had come almost exactly a year earlier at Thurles, so it took the horse a while to find a second gear — but when it did, it found a very high one.

The ground matters here too. On normal conditions, Dream On Baby has won 2 from 8 races, a win rate of 25% — that is 1 in every 4, which is a completely different animal from the overall picture. Give it the right surface and this horse becomes far more competitive than the headline record suggests.

Jockey Donagh Meyler has been the regular partner, riding in 9 of those 19 races and taking the Kempton win together, though the pair have only won once in nine attempts at an 11% win rate — so there is clearly more to unlock. Mullins' yard is in good form this season with 31 winners sent out, so Dream On Baby is operating in an active and well-supported stable.

The recent form reads 3-6-2-3-1-2 — that Class 1 win sitting in the middle of a consistent run of placing efforts, with a race just yesterday confirming the horse is still out there and still competing. Eight months on from Kempton and Dream On Baby has yet to win again, but a horse that has already climbed to the top of the mountain once, on the right ground, is never entirely written off.
