Time Pleases In Build Up To Mile Test

Prince Khalid Abdullah’s homebred Time Test (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is all set for a trip to Keeneland to tackle the GI Breeders’ Cup Mile. The Roger Charlton trained 3-year-old impressed when taking the G2 Joel S. at Newmarket Sept. 22 and has come through a racecourse gallop in great shape. “Time Test worked well at Wolverhampton on Thursday under Ryan Moore and the plan is that he departs for Lexington on Saturday”, reported Charlton. “Wolverhampton were most accommodating, allowing us to use the stalls which were positioned similar to how it will be in Keeneland and he worked a mile with two lead horses. He looks very well and is in a good place.” Charlton seems quite confident that Time Test can deal with the best US turf milers and he feels his biggest danger could also hail from Europe. “At this stage it is tricky to know exactly what will turn up, but it appears that Esoterique (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) could prove to be the greatest danger. A good draw will be essential,” added Charlton.
