Trustintimes

The horse dominates at Class 4 level, where it has won all three races it has contested. Move it up in grade and things get tougher, which is exactly what you'd expect—but it still manages to finish in the top 3 regularly. In its last six races, it has won three times and finished in the top 3 in four of them, a run of form that shows real consistency. That said, there's a puzzle in the record: the horse hasn't won since November, which is a 11-month drought despite staying competitive. The most recent run was just a day ago, so it is clearly still racing and still being campaigned actively by trainer Harry Fry's yard at Corscombe in Dorset.

The partnership with jockey Bryan Carver is the standout story here. Together they have won four races from eight starts—a 50% win rate that is remarkable and suggests a genuine understanding between horse and rider. Trustintimes clearly has strong preferences: it absolutely loves normal, standard ground conditions, winning four of five races on that going. Put it on either extreme—very wet or very firm, fast ground—and it struggles. Harry Fry's yard has been in good form this season with 26 winners, so the horse is being trained by someone clearly doing something right. If Class 4 is where Trustintimes belongs, it remains a genuinely useful animal; if it can recapture the winning thread, another victory could come soon.
