The one win came at Nottingham back in October 2025, and while that was eight months ago now, the form since has kept Time To Take Off firmly in the conversation — two runner-up finishes following that victory suggest the horse has continued to run well without quite getting its nose in front again. The most recent run was just yesterday, so this is a horse in the thick of its season right now.
Behind the scenes, Time To Take Off is trained by James Tate at Newmarket, which is as good an address as there is in British racing. Tate's yard has sent out 48 winners already this season — that is a serious volume of success and signals a stable operating at full tilt. Horses trained at Newmarket tend to benefit from world-class facilities and a team that knows exactly how to place a horse in the right race at the right time. For a lightly raced three-year-old still finding its feet, that matters.
With only four races under its belt, there is plenty still to learn about where Time To Take Off's ceiling sits. But a 25% win rate — winning 1 in every 4 races — combined with that unblemished placed record means the foundations look solid. The next few months should tell us a great deal more.
