Call Time

The ground is where things get genuinely interesting. On wet or muddy tracks, Call Time transforms: 2 wins from 6 races, which works out to roughly 1 in every 3, compared to a much more modest record on faster surfaces. That's a huge swing, and it's the kind of thing worth knowing. When the rain comes and the ground gets soft, this horse suddenly becomes a different proposition. Both of its career wins have come on that kind of surface — at Bath in October 2024, and most recently at Chepstow in September 2025.

Call Time is trained by J S Moore at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, a yard that has sent out 17 winners this season, which suggests a yard in decent nick. Taylor Fisher rides the horse most often, and together they have won 1 from 6 races — roughly 1 in every 6 — which is a better return than the horse's overall career average. It's a working partnership that has shown it can deliver on the right day.

The horse hasn't raced in around four months, which is the most pressing question hanging over its next run. A break that length can mean almost anything — a minor issue ironed out, a deliberate freshening-up, or simply waiting for the right opportunity. Its last six results (most recent first) read 5-3-6-4-3-2, which shows consistent involvement in the finish but no win since Chepstow. Most of its races have come at Class 5 level — the bread and butter of British racing — where it has won just 1 from 12, around 1 in every 12 races at that grade.

The formula for Call Time is fairly clear: wet ground, a sharp track like Chepstow, and it becomes a realistic contender. On a dry day at the wrong track, the numbers say keep walking. It's the kind of horse that punishes people who don't pay attention to the conditions, and quietly rewards those who do.
