Call Time

What makes Call Time genuinely interesting is his relationship with wet ground. On soft or muddy surfaces, he wins almost 1 in every 2 races — 4 wins from 9 starts, a 44% win rate that stands in sharp contrast to his overall record. His trainer, J. S. Moore, has identified this as the key to unlocking the horse's potential. The yard recognizes that Call Time is ground-dependent and performs on ground with pace taken out of it, typically over six or seven furlongs. The message is clear: this is not a horse for firm, fast ground.

Course form sharpens the picture further. At Ffos Las in Wales, Call Time has found particular favour, winning 2 of his 7 races there — including a victory just three weeks ago on 27 September. That record suggests he has learned how to handle the track and its particular demands. In his last six races, he has won twice, finished second once, and collected two more top-3 finishes, showing recent form that suggests momentum is building. His most regular partner, jockey David Probert, has ridden him to victory once in six rides together, a 17% win rate that nudges above his career average.

At Class 5 level — the lower rungs of flat racing — Call Time competes most often, though his record there is modest at 1 win from 12 races. The real clue to his prospects lies in that ground preference and his recent improvement. He is a horse who needs the right conditions to show what he can do, and when those conditions arrive, he is difficult to ignore.
