Unnamed by Time Test

A son of Time Test, one of the success stories of the stallion ranks in 2021, we were delighted to purchase our first yearling to have in training with Andrew Balding at the recent Tattersalls September Yearling Sale.

Sire Time Test could hardly have made a better impression this year - he has already had three stakes winners from his first crop of two year olds, as well as one reaching the frame at the top level when third in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes in Ireland.  A son of Dubawi, he held an identical official rating to another son of Dubawi, Night Of Thunder, who has since established himself as an excellent sire.

It was also very encouraging to see a filly bred on the same lines (Time Test out of a Pivotal mare) make an impressive winning debut in a 15-runner maiden at Newmarket in October!

The dam's side of the pedigree is strong, too; one of only two male siblings was a winner in Germany and ran to a Racing Post Rating of 93, while three half-sisters also won races.  Their dam, Flashing Colour, was a Listed winner in Germany, and is a half-sister to Royal Ascot-winning two year old Tha'ir, as well as being a half-sister to the dam of last year's Group 2 Royal Lodge runner-up Ontario.

An excellent physical and a very athletic colt, our latest acquisition will now head to Jamie Lloyd's breaking and pre-training yard in Warwickshire, before heading over to Andrew Balding's yard towards the end of the year.
