Tim Toe

What stands out most is how Tim Toe performs on normal ground. On a standard surface he has won 2 of his 3 races — that is a 67% win rate, or two in every three attempts — which suggests the ground conditions genuinely matter. De Bromhead himself noted after an earlier run that Tim Toe's jumping looked a little careful and that he might simply be a horse who needs the ground in his favour. That observation now looks astute.

His recent record reads 3-1-3-1-5-2, and within the last six races he has won twice. His most recent victory came at Listowel just two weeks ago, on 31 May 2026, and he raced again just yesterday, which tells you the team are keeping him busy and in good form. His first win arrived at Thurles back in March 2025, and the progression since then has been steady rather than explosive.

Jockey Ronan Whelan offered a telling glimpse after a run at Bellewstown, describing Tim Toe as a horse with "a bit of class" and a genuine turn of foot — meaning he can quicken when asked, which is a rare and valuable quality. Whelan also noted that the race felt like a learning exercise, a fact-finding mission on behalf of De Bromhead, and that the horse would likely want longer distances as his career develops. A horse that idles in front — slowing down when no one is chasing — but still wins, and still catches the eye of experienced riders, tends to be one that has more to offer than he has yet shown.
