Classy five-year-old TIME LOCK (Frankel), whose fourth dam QUANDARY (Blushing Groom) ranks as the granddam of Klawervlei Stud’s four time G1 winning sire TWICE OVER (Observatory), made it back to back wins in the G3 Princess Royal Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai Stakes when she won that Newmarket contest on Friday.

Placed in the Jockey Club Stakes in May and in the Princess of Wales’s Stakes on her most recent outing in July, the Juddmonte bred and owned Time Lock was the 13-8 favourite to rediscover the winning trail following a two-month break.

After being settled in third place for much of the mile and a half contest by Ryan Moore, Time Lock was asked to go about her business racing inside the final two furlongs and soon pulled clear of the pacesetting duo of Place Of Safety and Comic Book.

Barry Mahon, Juddmonte’s racing manager, said: “She obviously likes it here, that’s twice she’s won this race now. We’ll talk to the owners whether she will be retired or not. We had half an idea about whether or not to go to Hong Kong for the mile and a half race or not in December, Ryan just said that could be a good option for her depending on what’s in it.The owners would be delighted whether we retire her now or give her one more roll of the dice. She’ll retire either way at the end of this year to be bred from and she’s a nice broodmare prospect.”

Out of TIME CHASER (Dubawi), the talented Time Lock has won four of 15 starts for earnings of £260,991. Her dam Time Chaser,  a full-sister to four time group winner TIME TEST (Dubawi) and half-sister to this season’s hugely exciting two-year-old COSMIC YEAR (Kingman), is out of G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner PASSAGE OF TIME (Dansili).

This is also the family of this year’s unbeaten Prix du Prince d’Orange winner OMBUDSMAN (Night Of Thunder).
