David Dennis

Four years into his training career, David Dennis is a man whose numbers are starting to tell a genuinely encouraging story. Since taking out his licence in 2021, he has built up 37 career winners, and this season alone he has sent out 7 winners from 57 runners — that's roughly 1 in every 8 races, a win rate of 12%. That might not sound extraordinary in isolation, but consider where he was just twelve months ago: his win rate stood at just 4%, meaning he was winning barely 1 in every 25 races. Trebling that figure in a single season is not an accident. Something at the yard is clearly clicking.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most striking number in Dennis's record is what happens when the ground is normal — not too wet, not too dry, just standard conditions. In those circumstances, he wins 7 from 32 races, a rate of 22%, or better than 1 in every 5. That is a significant edge. It suggests his horses are conditioned to perform at their best when the track isn't throwing up any surprises, and it's the kind of pattern that a shrewd punter would want to know about.

The one head-scratcher in the data is his partnership with jockey Tom Bellamy. Across 17 rides together, they have yet to get their heads in front — 0 wins from 17 attempts is a surprisingly blank record for what looks, on paper, like a regular combination. Whether that's down to the particular horses Bellamy has been put on, unfortunate timing, or something else entirely, it's a curious footnote in an otherwise upward-trending career. The overall trajectory is what matters most, and right now that trajectory is pointing firmly in the right direction.
