The story so far has a satisfying shape to it. Time To Turn broke its duck at Wolverhampton in late June 2025, then stepped up to win a Class 1 race at Ascot in July — one of the top races in Britain, at one of the most famous venues in the world. That alone would have been a fine summer. But in October, the horse travelled to Newbury and won another Class 1, completing a three-race winning streak that it is still riding now. Finishing second in its first two outings, then reeling off three consecutive wins, paints the picture of a young horse that has found its feet quickly and just kept improving.
William Buick has been in the saddle for all five career races, and the partnership has clicked: three wins from five rides together, which again works out at 60%. Buick is one of the best jockeys in British racing, and the fact that Charlie Appleby, whose Newmarket yard has sent out 122 winners this season alone, has kept faith with that combination throughout suggests real confidence in what they have here. A yard sending out that many winners is not one that wastes its best jockeys on ordinary horses.
Time To Turn hasn't raced for roughly five months, which naturally raises a question: will the long break take the edge off? There's no way to know until the horse runs again. What is certain is that it returns with a profile that would be the envy of most horses twice its age — unbeaten in its last three, a winner at two of Britain's grandest tracks, and trained by one of the most prolific yards in the country. Whatever comes next, this is a horse worth watching.
