Notimetotakeoff is a two-year-old still finding its feet on the track. In three races so far, it has finished in the top three twice but is yet to break through for a win — most recently, it ran third just a day ago. The horse is trained by
Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, a yard that has been in excellent form this season, sending out 131 winners already. With such a strong training operation behind it, there is every reason to think this young horse will improve as it gains experience and learns what racing demands. At this early stage of its career, simply getting into the frame consistently is a solid foundation to build on.
