Its Time For A Run

Looking at his recent form, Its Time For A Run came second just yesterday, which is encouraging. Before that he finished fourth, then earned another place with a first, sandwiched between eighth and seventh-place efforts. It is the kind of form that suggests a horse capable of winning again but needing the right race and the right conditions to do it. Trainer Emmet Mullins, based at Bagenalstown in County Carlow, has a productive yard this season with 31 winners already sent out, so the horse is in a capable operation. Downpatrick clearly suits him — that was where he recorded his career win — and there may be value in watching for his next appearance there. For now, he remains active and in regular action, which at least gives him plenty of opportunities to add to his tally.
