Imperial Dream
Imperial Dream has won just three times in 34 races—roughly 1 in every 11 attempts—and hasn't crossed the line first in nearly two years. The six-year-old's last victory came at The Curragh back in August 2024, a gap that tells you something about the horse's current form. When racing at the lower levels where it typically competes, the horse manages a 12% win rate (1 win from 8 races), which is respectable enough, but that's not where Imperial Dream is spending most of its time these days.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The telling detail is what has happened recently. In its last six outings, Imperial Dream has finished fourth once and missed the placings five times—a run of form that suggests the horse is struggling to find the form that brought those three wins. Robyn Donaghue-Leahy, who has ridden Imperial Dream eleven times, is yet to steer the horse to victory, a partnership that has yielded no winners from eleven attempts. Patrick J Flynn's yard at Carrick-On-Suir has had a productive season with eight winners sent out, but Imperial Dream is not among the horses delivering results. The horse raced as recently as yesterday, so the yard are still looking for a turnaround, but the numbers suggest Imperial Dream is a horse that may have seen its best days.
