Dropping Dimes

The horse has been kept busy recently, racing four times in quick succession with results of third, ninth, ninth, and thirteenth. That's a pattern you sometimes see with trainers trying to get a young horse race-fit and accustomed to the track, even if the results aren't immediate. Racing just a day ago shows Dropping Dimes is an active proposition, regularly getting a chance to compete rather than sitting around between outings.

Jarlath P Fahey, who trains the horse at Monasterevín in County Kildare, runs a small but productive yard — three winners sent out already this season suggests a trainer who knows how to get the best from his runners. For a two-year-old at this stage of its career, consistency and opportunity matter more than immediate success, and this horse is certainly getting both.
