Fair Dinkum

The numbers reveal a clear pattern. Fair Dinkum thrives on normal ground conditions, winning 2 of 7 races (29%) when the surface is standard, compared to nothing from its broader record on other going. More striking still is its form at Lingfield Park, where it has won 2 of 5 races — a course specialist record that suggests the track itself suits its running style. Trainer Jeremy Scott, based in Brompton Regis, Somerset, has saddled a productive yard this season with 18 winners to date. With jockey Kieran O'Neill, Fair Dinkum has won once from five rides together, a partnership that might yet click into gear if the conditions and race type fall right. For a horse competing almost exclusively at Class 5 level with zero wins from 18 attempts at that grade, the Class 2 Bath victory stands as the highlight of its career — the sort of day when everything came together and proved this horse has ability beyond its usual surroundings.
