Wilde And Dandy

Where Wilde And Dandy has shown genuine class is at Chelmsford, where he has won two of his seven races — a win rate of nearly one in four that stands out sharply against his career average of just one in every nine. That is the kind of pattern that suggests a course suit, and it is the sort of thing trainers remember. He also runs better with jockey Joey Haynes in the saddle: they have partnered twice to a win, a twenty percent win rate together that is roughly double his typical form. But here is where the picture darkens: when Wilde And Dandy runs at Class 5 level — the lower reaches of professional racing — he has won only once in nineteen attempts, a five percent win rate that suggests he is often out of his depth even in modest company. He raced yesterday, so the yard are still looking for that breakthrough win, but at this stage of his career and this long into a losing run, it is hard to see where the next victory is going to come from.
