TIME FOR BLACK SHOWS IT'S TIME

TIME FOR BLACK showed what he was capable of doing when things finally went his way at Ascot yesterday. The lightly raced son of Blackfriars had only had two race starts prior to yesterday and on both occassions he failed to trouble the judges. Although he wasn't a good thing beaten in either race he certainly would have finished in the money on both occassions with any luck. He ran into a brick wall first up at Ascot then was forced to tramp four and five wide when I took him to Bunbury for a maiden.

Yesterday the horse showed the benefit of the experience and the value of racing forward at Ascot when there is a stong easterly wind blowing. The way he won the 1600m event suggests that there could be a few more wins in store for this late developing young horse. I am not sure how much more I will do with him this campaign however I am confident that he can develop into a very handy middle distance horse in the future.
