Sapphire Dream
Sapphire Dream has won just once in fourteen races, but that single victory at Lingfield Park back in July came at an important moment in the three-year-old's career—the moment that proved it could finish first. Since then, the horse has found winning elusive. Of the last six runs, there have been three places (meaning second, third, or fourth finishes), but no wins, and the form has been patchy: a fifth, a second, a pair of thirds, an eighth, and most recently another fifth just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Jo Davis trains Sapphire Dream from her East Garston yard in Berkshire, a stable that has sent out three winners so far this season. The horse is ridden most often by Jimmy Dalton, though that partnership hasn't quite clicked—Dalton has ridden it five times without a win. At three years old, Sapphire Dream is still young enough to improve, but with seven wins in every hundred races across its career, it sits at a fairly modest level of the sport. The July victory at Lingfield showed it has the ability to win on that track, but the three months without another success suggest the horse is still searching for consistency. It's the kind of runner that catches a race now and then, and keeps its the yard hoping the next outing might bring the breakthrough.
