Both wins have come in shorter races, between 5 furlongs and 6 and a half furlongs, where Iconic Times has won 2 from 9 outings — around 1 in 4 at its preferred trip. It also has a clear preference for wet conditions, winning 2 of its 6 races on soft or muddy ground, a success rate of 33%. That combination — Kempton, a short sprint, and rain in the forecast — is when this horse looks most dangerous.
The most recent win came at Kempton on 3 July 2025, though since then Iconic Times has gone six races without finding the winner's enclosure, with recent finishes reading 11th, 6th, 3rd, 5th, 3rd, and 8th. That sequence shows a horse that places occasionally but hasn't quite been able to put it all together. It raced just one day ago, so it is clearly being kept busy by trainer Jennie Candlish, whose yard at Basford in Staffordshire has sent out 61 winners this season — that is a stable in form.
Iconic Times competes mainly at Class 5 level, the sort of races where the competition is modest and winnable, and that's where both victories have come. It isn't a horse aiming at the biggest prizes, but it doesn't need to be. What it has is a very specific profile: a short-distance sprinter who thrives on wet ground at one particular track. When those conditions line up again at Kempton, it would be unwise to dismiss it entirely.
