In what is currently a very strong environment for sires in NZ, Time Test made his mark, and not unsurprisingly given his profile, his stock have continued to improve with age to the extent where he currently sits in 11th place on the New Zealand sires premiership, and with any number of progressive horses he should improve that position this season and beyond.

“Timmy” as he was affectionately known by the staff at LA, was a pleasure to have on the farm and LA look forward to offering his final crop of SH yearlings in 2026. Underpinned by his exceptional bloodlines, Time Test’s influence will be felt throughout the farm for many years to come as LA have built up a lovely band of his broodmare daughters.

Sam and Catriona would like to extend a big vote of thanks to the Jockey Club and the National Stud. The relationship has been one they have both enjoyed immensely and look forward to building upon in the years to come.
