His record breaks down to roughly 1 win in every 10 races across his career, but the interesting numbers are in the details. On wet or muddy ground, he has won 2 of 9 races — that is a 22% win rate, more than double his overall figure, and it tells you exactly the kind of day you want for him. Similarly, over his best distances of a mile and six furlongs to two miles, he has won 1 from 5. He is a horse who needs the conditions to suit, and when they do, he becomes a different proposition.
He is trained by Gavin Cromwell at the yard's Navan base in County Meath, and this is not a small operation — 92 winners already on the board this season is a serious output. Keith Donoghue partners him most regularly, and together they have won 2 of their 16 races, roughly 1 in every 8 — a shade better than anyone else has managed on him.
His most recent win came at Killarney in August 2024, now 20 months ago, and his last six runs have produced nothing better than a fourth. The dash in that sequence signals a non-completion somewhere in the mix, which is always worth noting in a horse of this age. Still, he raced just yesterday, which confirms the team believe there is still something left in him. For Dutch Schultz, the dream scenario is simple: a wet day, the right distance, and Donoghue in the saddle. Whether that combination produces a fifth win or just another place cheque, he will at least make it interesting.
