There are trainers who win big races, and there are trainers who are still waiting for their first. Phillip Dando falls firmly into the second category. In four years of training since 2021, he has yet to send out a winner, and the numbers across this season tell the same story: 11 runners, 0 wins.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most notable thread running through his yard is the partnership with jockey Conor Ring, who has taken the ride 10 times for Dando without either of them managing to break the duck. Similarly, the horse Dessie Haze has lined up eight times under Dando's care and is still searching for a first victory together with the trainer. That is a combined 18 races across those two partnerships without a winner — a reminder that in racing, patience is not optional.
It is worth saying clearly: four years is not a long time in a sport where yards can take a decade to build, and a trainer working at this level with a small string of horses is operating in genuinely difficult conditions. The first winner, when it comes, will mean a great deal.
