Trained by Daniel James Murphy out of Curragh, Co Kildare, the horse has been kept busy and raced as recently as yesterday. Murphy's yard has sent out 19 winners this season, which shows there is plenty of ability flowing through the stable — Dream And Believe just hasn't tapped into it yet. A finishing position of seventh has become almost a signature: four of the last six races have ended exactly there, which suggests a horse that is competitive enough to avoid being left well behind, but hasn't yet found the spark to get involved at the sharp end. The most recent run produced a ninth-place finish, which is a slight step in the wrong direction.
The honest truth is that six races without so much as a place means the horse has not yet earned a payout for anyone backing it. Whether that changes will likely depend on finding the right opportunity — and at three, there is still time for things to click.
