Timebar

Lewis Edmunds has been the regular rider—nine outings together without a breakthrough—and trainer Roy Bowring's Edwinstowe yard has found similar problems when stepping Timebar up to Class 6 company. In nine attempts at that level, the horse has failed to win. It is the kind of record that speaks to a horse with decent enough ability to compete but persistently falling just short of getting the job done. Given that a 0-for-20 record is rare for a horse still racing actively, Timebar occupies an unusual place: reliable enough to keep running, but consistent in its inability to convert chances into victories.
