Back to the scene that earned career highlights in the Group III VRC Aurie's Star Handicap and Listed The Straight Six, It'sourtime returned to the winner's circle for the first time in nearly a year with a dominant win in Saturday's Listed Santa Ana Lane Sprint Series Final (1200m) at Flemington.
Ridden by Damian Lane for Danny O'Brien, the 6-year-old son of Time For War motored down the straight to defeat Crosshaven (Smart Missile) by one and a quarter lengths, with Who Dares (Deep Field) back in third.
With his third stakes success down the Flemington straight, It'sourtime advances his record to six wins, ten seconds and five thirds from 32 starts with earnings of $931,725.
"The blinkers sharpened him up, and he has come back in good order this prep," Lane said.
Passed in short of his $100,000 reserve when consigned by Widden Stud to the 2019 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, It'sourtime is a half-brother to stakes-placed Zahspeed (Speed 'n' Power) and is the best of four winners from six to race for the unraced Zeditave mare Zedoble who died in 2019.
It'sourtime is one of five stakes-winners for Snitzel's dual Group II winner Time For War, who covered two books at Kitchwin Hills, leaving 122 foals before his death.
