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.
