Over a career spanning 39 races, Time To Bite has won 9 times and finished in the places on 21 more occasions, giving a win rate of 23%, or roughly winning 1 in every 4 races. For context, most racehorses win far less often than that — plenty go their whole careers without winning at all. Nine career wins for an 11-year-old is a genuinely solid body of work, and the fact that this horse is still competing and still winning tells you everything about its constitution and enthusiasm for the job.
The most interesting number in the file is at Class 4, which is mid-tier competition — not the top races in Britain, but not the bottom rung either. At that level, Time To Bite has won 6 of 12 races. That is a 50% win rate. Half. That is not a stat, that is dominance. When conditions and company are right, this horse is almost impossible to beat. Newton Abbot also tells a story: 3 wins from just 6 visits to that Devon track, making it one of those courses where the horse simply seems to know where it is and gets on with business.
The partnership with jockey Bryan Carver is worth noting too. Together they have produced 8 of Time To Bite's 9 career wins from 28 races together — that is winning roughly 1 in every 3.5 races they start as a pair, a win rate of 29%. In racing, when a jockey and horse click like that, trainers tend to stick with the combination. It is easy to see why Honour has.
The most recent win came at Fakenham just days ago — this week — and the career stretches back to a first victory at Exeter in December 2023. Chris Honour's yard has sent out four winners this season, and Time To Bite appears to be pulling its weight. At 11 years old and still winning, this horse is not a prospect. It is simply a very good racehorse doing what it does.
