Dream Pirate
Dream Pirate is a 6-year-old who has learned to win when the going gets tough—literally. The horse has captured 6 wins from 38 races across a career that shows a clear pattern: give it wet or slightly soft ground, and it performs well above its usual standard. On wet ground, Dream Pirate wins roughly 2 in every 5 races (3 wins from 7), a dramatic jump from its overall 16% win rate of 1 in 6 races. Even on slightly soft ground it improves to 1 in 3 winners (2 wins from 6). On quicker surfaces, however, the horse rarely gets the job done, suggesting that it simply prefers racing when the track is heavy or damp.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse earned its first win at Great Yarmouth on 21 September 2023 and has returned to that track with real success, winning 2 of its 6 races there. Great Yarmouth has become something of a lucky ground for this horse, and that double suggests it runs well enough at the course to be worth watching when conditions suit. Dream Pirate's jockey Marco Ghiani has ridden the horse 10 times and won 3 of those races—a 30% win rate that outpaces the horse's baseline, indicating a productive partnership. Trainer T. J. Kent, based at Newmarket, has the horse running lately in Class 5 company and sent it out to victory at Leicester just this week, a win that came in the horse's second race in its last six outings. That recent form, after a run of modest results earlier in the month, shows that Dream Pirate still knows how to find the winners' enclosure when conditions and company align.
