The recent form makes for difficult reading. Over the last six races, Dunany Point has finished tenth, ninth, eighth, eighth, and sixth — a consistent pattern of finishing in the mix but well off the pace, with nothing to suggest a return to winning form is imminent. Thirteen months have now passed since that Bellewstown success, which at this point in a seven-year-old's career is a significant stretch without a win.
The partnership with jockey Kieren Buckley has been the most regular combination, with the pair teaming up 11 times together for that 1 win — a win rate of roughly 1 in 11. That is a modest return, though it does mean Buckley was in the saddle when the horse produced its best. Trainer Conor David Maxwell operates out of Stamullen in County Meath and has had six winners on the board this season, so the yard is clearly capable of getting horses to win. The question is whether Dunany Point can tap into that form again, having raced as recently as yesterday and showing no signs of being put away for the season.
At this stage, Dunany Point looks like a horse that needs everything to fall right — and on current evidence, those moments are rare.
