Boola Times
Boola Times is a 5-year-old that has finally broken through after a long wait. The horse's first — and so far only — career win came at Wexford on 28 August 2026, a breakthrough that came from 16 previous races without success. That single victory arrived six weeks ago, and since then the horse has stayed competitive without quite finding the winner's circle again, finishing third twice in the last half-dozen runs.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by David Kenneth Budds at Reinduff in County Waterford, Boola Times has won just 1 of 17 career races, a 6% win rate that reflects a horse plugging away at a modest level. The yard itself has had a quiet season, sending out only 2 winners across the board. Boola Times remains actively racing — it was last seen a day ago — and shows enough form to warrant continued outings. With three placings in the last six runs, including two third-place finishes, there are hints that the horse is capable of running a race, even if the top spot remains elusive. For a horse this far down the ladder, consistency of effort counts for something, and Boola Times is at least earning its way.
