Time Test (GB) has been sold by the National Stud to continue his stud career in Turkey.
A statement released by the Turkish Jockey Club on Friday read, “Another successful name, purchased by the Turkish Jockey Club, is coming to our country to serve our breeders starting from the 2025 breeding season. Time Test, whose import operations are ongoing, will stand in our country in 2025.”
A dual Group 2 winner in Britain for his owner-breeder Juddmonte Farms and trainer Roger Charlton, Time Test, by Dubawi (Ire) out of the Group 1 winner Passage Of Time (GB) (Dansili {GB}), has been based in Newmarket throughout his European stud career, which began in 2018. He has also shuttled to Little Avondale Stud in New Zealand and is the sire of four group winners: Crypto Force (GB), Rocchigiani (GB), Okeechobee (GB) and Romantic Time (GB).
Time Test's juvenile half-brother Cosmic Year (GB) (Kingman {GB}) won his sole start at Sandown by six-and-a-half lengths for Harry Charlton in September and is currently quoted as 20/1 for next year's 2,000 Guineas.
Earlier this year the National Stud sold Mutasaabeq (GB) to stand at stud in India after he covered mares for just one season in England. The champion sprinter-elect Bradsell (GB) has recently been welcomed to the stallion wing of the National Stud, where he will stand alongside Stradivarius (Ire), Lope Y Fernandez (Ire) and Rajasinghe (Ire).
