Swing Time
Swing Time is a seven-year-old with a modest record: one win and one place from 12 races, which works out to roughly one win in every 12 attempts. That's a tough win rate, and the horse hasn't exactly been lighting up the form book. But there's something worth noting in the shape of recent runs. That's not great, but it's the pattern of a horse that occasionally finds its level.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The real story here is Ballinrobe. Swing Time won there on 11 September 2026, and that victory appears to be its only win in a career spanning years. For a horse approaching the veteran stage, finding even one winning track is valuable, and Swing Time has done exactly that. The track clearly suits it. With the horse still racing and last out just a day ago, the yard are clearly still looking for another opportunity, perhaps hoping to return to the ground where it has already tasted success. At seven years old and with only modest earnings across its entire career, Swing Time is exactly the kind of hard-trying horse you see plodding through the races week after week, occasionally catching the right race at the right moment — just as it did at Ballinrobe three weeks ago.
