Oklahoma Dream

The horse races for David Menuisier's yard at Pulborough in West Sussex, a stable that has already sent out 20 winners this season, so there is clearly quality horsemanship at work. Menuisier knows how to get horses winning, which means Oklahoma Dream may simply need more time to find its level or the right race setup. At three years old, there is no urgency; plenty of decent horses take four or five outings before breaking their duck. The fact that recent runs have produced two fifth-place finishes rather than distant efforts is encouraging — it shows the horse is competitive and not out of its depth. With a trainer of Menuisier's calibre and the yard in good form, Oklahoma Dream has every chance of turning those near-misses into a win soon.
