I C U In My Dreams

The win came at Newcastle just days ago, on 31 March 2026, and the form around it tells a tidy story: second, then fourth, then second, then a winner. That is a horse improving and finding its stride, not one that got lucky on a given afternoon. The fourth-place finish is the only blip in a record that otherwise reads like a horse that knows how to race.

Behind the scenes, the trainer is Donald McCain, who operates out of Cholmondeley in Cheshire. McCain's yard has sent out 51 winners already this season, which is the mark of an operation that genuinely knows what it is doing — not a small stable scratching around for the odd result, but a serious yard with horses fit, placed well, and ready to run. When a horse comes out of that kind of environment and wins first time at a track, it tends to mean the preparation was right. At six years old, I C U In My Dreams is no youngster finding its feet — this is a horse that should know itself by now, and the recent Newcastle win suggests it very much does.
