Toptime

Most of Toptime's racing has come in Class 6 company — the bread-and-butter end of the sport — and that's where the bulk of its wins have come: 6 from 26 races at that level, or around 1 in every 4. That might sound modest, but winning a quarter of your races at any level is genuinely difficult, and it tells you this is a horse that belongs where it runs rather than one just filling out fields.

What makes Toptime particularly interesting is its relationship with Nottingham racecourse. Two wins from 6 races there suggests it's not a coincidence — some horses simply suit certain tracks, whether it's the shape of the turns, the camber of the ground, or something less easily explained. Toptime's most recent win came at Nottingham just this week, on 11 June 2026, keeping it very much in the conversation as an active, competitive force.

Wet or muddy ground also suits this horse well: 2 wins from 6 races in those conditions, or 1 in every 3, which is a noticeably better return than its overall record. That's a useful thing to know — when the rain comes and the ground softens, Toptime moves up a gear. Jockey Lewis Edmunds has been the regular partner in the saddle, riding 5 of its 7 career wins from 19 appearances together, winning roughly 1 in every 4 rides. That kind of continuity between horse and jockey matters; it builds understanding, and the numbers bear it out.

Trainer Roy Bowring, based in Edwinstowe in Nottinghamshire, has sent out 5 winners this season from his yard, and Toptime is clearly at the heart of what makes that operation tick. Recent form of two wins in the last six races — including one just yesterday — suggests this is a horse in a purple patch. At eight years old, with a career record this consistent, Toptime isn't the flashiest name in racing. But it keeps winning, and right now, that's all that matters.
