About
Tough Time is a 7yo bay gelding trained by Andrew J. Carston of Riccarton Park. He is by Shamexpress out of Dear Way and has recorded four career wins. His most notable victory arrived on 15 February 2025 at Ascot Park, where he captured the $50000.00 Benchmark 65 Handicap. He has been a profitable runner for bettors; backing him throughout his career would generate a 31% return on investment.
