Overall, the record reads 4 wins and 7 places from 38 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 9 or 10 outings across its career. That's modest on paper, but the picture sharpens considerably when you factor in ground conditions. On soft, wet ground, Step Back In Time wins nearly 1 in every 3 races — 2 wins from just 7 attempts — which is a genuinely strong return. On normal conditions it wins around 1 in 6, going 2 from 12. The message is clear: give this horse soft ground at Navan, and you have something worth watching.
At eight years old, Step Back In Time is an experienced campaigner, and the partnership with jockey Rory Cleary has been one of the more productive relationships in its career. Together they've won 2 from 9 races — roughly 1 in every 4 or 5 rides — which is well above the horse's overall average and suggests Cleary brings something out of it. The yard itself is in decent form, having sent out 5 winners already this season, which means the team around this horse is in good working order.
The most recent win came at Navan in October 2025, seven months ago, and recent form has been mixed — a win and a third in among some tougher finishes. But with a race just yesterday, Step Back In Time is clearly a busy, active horse who keeps turning up. The first win came at Navan back in September 2023, and the most recent one was there too. This horse has essentially written its own story, and every chapter worth reading seems to happen at the same venue.
