Ancient Times

The horse has been actively raced in recent months, running six times in a short window, though without success. Its last win came at Catterick Bridge on 24 May 2025, a Class 4 race — over sixteen months ago now — which illustrates a lengthy dry spell despite regular opportunities. Recent form reads 4-9-2-13-10-10, a sequence that shows it is still competitive enough to place occasionally but rarely threatening to break its current losing streak. Most of these races have been at the Class 4 level, where Ancient Times has won just 1 of 10 attempts, suggesting it sits right at the ceiling of its ability rather than dominating at that grade.

Hayley Turner has been Ancient Times's most regular pilot, riding it in 13 races and scoring just once, an 8% win rate that underperforms the horse's overall record. Trainer Harry Eustace, based at Newmarket, has a yard in fine fettle this season with 24 winners sent out already, though Ancient Times remains something of an outlier — still capable of placing, but unlikely to add significantly to the yard's tally given its current form and the length of time since its last success.
