About
Dad And Dave is a 4yo bay gelding trained by Ciaron Maher in Ballarat. He is by Time Test out of Nymenche. As a stakes winner with $205,535 in earnings, he is considered above‑average ability. On 6 Feb 2026 at Hobart, ridden by Eoin Walsh, he secured his biggest victory to date in the $150,000 Tasmanian Derby, beating Colizzi. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would have yielded a 33% return on investment.
