The key to him seems to be soft ground. On wet or muddy conditions, he has won 2 of 7 races — a win rate of roughly 29 percent, nearly three times his career average. That is a genuine edge. His trainer, E Bolger, runs a yard at Bruree in Co Limerick that has already sent out 14 winners this season, so he is working with a stable that knows how to get the best from its horses. When Simon Torrens has ridden him, they have won together 2 times from 12 races — 17 percent — which is encouraging. It suggests Inthenickoftime responds to a particular jockey and runs well for him.
His last win came at Galway on 7 October 2025, just over ten months ago. Since then, he has been consistent without striking — three races without a place, then back to running into the money. He raced just a day ago, so he remains actively campaigned. For a horse with his profile, the strategy is clear: keep him on soft ground, keep Simon Torrens in the saddle when possible, and wait for conditions to suit. He may never be a headline horse, but he has proved he belongs in races where he gets the ground he loves.
