It's Time Again

It's Time Again is a ten-year-old horse that has found its true home at Ballinrobe. Over a career spanning more than two years, the horse has won just 3 of 28 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 9 outings — but the real story lies in what happens when it returns to that Irish track. At Ballinrobe, it has won 3 of 11 races, a win rate that stands out dramatically against its overall record. That 27% win rate at one track suggests the horse genuinely thrives there, whether it's the ground, the course setup, or simply familiarity that brings out the best in it.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The most recent win came on 11 April 2025, though it has been quiet since — no victories in the last six races, with finishes of second, eighth, and ninth mixed in. Ridden most often by John Shinnick, It's Time Again has managed 1 win from 9 races with that jockey, keeping pace with its career average. Trained by David Richard Barry, the horse continues to race regularly and was in action just yesterday, suggesting there is still faith in finding another winning opportunity.

At ten years old, It's Time Again is hardly a young prospect anymore, yet it is still competing. For a horse at this stage of its career, three wins from 28 races is modest, but the Ballinrobe record hints that on the right day and the right track, winning is far from beyond it. Whether another trip to that Irish course will trigger a return to the winner's enclosure remains to be seen.
