“Full of Potential”: After Grade 2 Horse Racing Triumph, Jockey Shares Positive Note on Colt’s Future

Equine partner, Measured Time, has turned heads with his exceptional performance at the recently held Al Maktoum Mile at Meydan’s Festive Friday. Interestingly, the colt marked the incredible spree with the British equestrian William Buick. 

Along the same lines, Measured Time, on the evening of last Friday, won the Group 2 AI Rashidiya contest. Despite being new at the racing track and test, Measured Time passed with flying colors. Following his win, Buick expressed his elation on the commendable spree posed by his equine.

On Friday’s event, Measured Time clinched various titles by progressing rapidly. To celebrate the triumph of the horse-racing Group 2 AI Rashidiya win with Measured Time, Dubai Racing Club took to Twitter to celebrate the victory of the colt. They posted a video clip of William with Measured Time elaborating on the potential of his horse. 

Dubai Racing Club penned, “He’s a horse full of potential. William Buick believes the best is yet to come from Measured Time, who cut loose for Godolphin in the Group Two Al Rashidiya.” Even though Measured Time is already performing exceptionally well at the racing tournaments, the British Champion Jockey believes that the best is yet to come from the horse. 

In the interview, Buick commented, “Measured Time is a good horse, full of promise. He has been growing up all the Time, and today was a new test for him, having never been to Meydan before. This was another tick in the box, and his ability is there for all to see.“

He added, “He has a lot of speed, although I think he will stay. He has a huge stride like his brother Rebel’s Romance, and you never feel like the race is going fast enough for him – he has a great cruising speed.” However, Measured Time is not the only star performer at the event, as another equine icon Ponntos stood victorious at Ertijaal Dubai Dash Listed Stakes.
