Mister Daydream

The real story with Mister Daydream is the consistency of his preferred trip. When he races at distances between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, he comes alive — he has won 2 of his 7 races over that stretch, a win rate of better than 1 in 3. Drop him in over middle distances and he struggles; over shorter or longer trips his form dries up. At Class 5 level, where he contests most of his races, he is a formidable proposition, winning 3 of 11 times, almost 1 in every 3 or 4 outings. This is where he belongs and where he belongs, his record is genuinely strong.

Trainer by Gary and Josh Moore from Lower Beeding in West Sussex, Mister Daydream has the backing of a yard in excellent form this season — they have already sent out 99 winners. He is ridden most often by Joe Fanning, though their partnership has not quite clicked yet, yielding just 1 win from 10 races together. His recent form shows some inconsistency — a third-place finish in his most recent outing, preceded by a win two months earlier — but he remains active and at the track. For a modest horse operating at his level, Mister Daydream does his job without fuss: he wins his share, stays sound, and knows where he is most dangerous.
