What sets Toptime apart is his partnership with trainer Roy Bowring at Edwinstowe in Nottinghamshire and jockey Lewis Edmunds. When the two ride together, something clicks: Edmunds has steered Toptime to victory 5 times from 19 races, a 26% win rate that's significantly better than the horse's overall record. That kind of consistency suggests a real understanding between rider and horse. Equally telling is Toptime's love of wet or muddy ground—he's won 2 of his 6 races on such conditions, a 33% win rate that shows he's got the temperament to thrive when others struggle. He's also developed into a Nottingham specialist, winning twice on that track from six attempts.
Recently, though, Toptime has found life tougher. His last six races tell the story of a horse treading water: a win just over two months ago on 11 June at Nottingham, followed by mixed results that include a third, a fourth, and a tenth-place finish. He raced just a day ago, so the yard are keeping him busy, testing him against fresh opponents in search of another winning opportunity. At his best, Toptime is a horse worth following when conditions turn wet and when Edmunds is in the saddle—especially at Nottingham, where he knows the track and has proved his worth.
