Turn Back Time (2 f ex Diamond Run by Hurricane Lane) landed a seven-furlong fillies’ maiden at Lingfield yesterday to provide Little Avondale shuttler Time Test (Dubawi) with his fifth individual first-crop winner.
The Mark Johnston-trained filly had placed in all three of her previous starts, including a second-placed effort at Brighton earlier this month, and her consistency was rewarded with a half-length defeat of Trans Montana (Mondialiste). El Felicia (El Kabeir) was a further length back in third.
Turn Back Time is the second scorer from four to race out of winning mare Diamond Run, who is a halfsister to stakes performers Ivory Gala (Galileo) and Alo Pura (Anabaa). Time Test, who will stand at Little Avondale for NZ$8,500 (plus GST) this year, has already sired a stakes winner in Tardis, while his daughter Sunset Shiraz outran her odds to finish runner-up in the Debutante Stakes (Gr 2, 7f) at the Curragh on August 21.
