The recent run of form tells a familiar story: a second place finish a few races back offered a brief glimpse of promise, but that has been bookended by seventh-place finishes and little else to get excited about. That runner-up spot is genuinely the brightest moment in the record so far, and it shows the ability is somewhere in there — it just hasn't translated into a win yet.
What is interesting is the training operation behind the horse. Emma Lavelle runs a well-regarded yard out of Ogbourne Maizey in Wiltshire, and this season alone her team has sent out 41 winners — that is a yard in fine form. Having that kind of professional support means Times Are Green is at least in capable hands, even if the results haven't come yet. At Class 4 level, which sits in the lower-to-middle tier of British racing, the horse has had three chances and not won any of them, which suggests the current level is about right — this isn't a horse being thrown in over its head, it's just one that hasn't clicked yet.
At six years old, time is not unlimited, but horses can and do find their moment. For now, Times Are Green is one of those honest, consistent competitors that makes up the backbone of the racing calendar — turning up, putting in a shift, and waiting for the pieces to fall into place.
