''One of the Best Bred Stallions in the Stud Book''

" Curtain Time will be forever in the history books "

"He is as capable as any of the Top Sires" Irish Field

Winning Half Brother To TAIPAN, ALI-ROYAL, SLEEPYTIME & OONAGH MACCOOL
^{Henry Cecil}
CURTAIN TIME was trained for his brief racing career by Henry Cecil and he was a much hyped horse when making an impressive winning debut at three years in the 10 furlong Museum Stakes at Newmarket. Immediately following his success, in a race won previously by Commander-In-Chief for the same stable, Curtain Time was cut in price for the Epsom Derby and his trainer certainly believed that he had great potential.

After his second outing a not disheartened Cecil sent him to Goodwood in May for what was to be his final outing.This was in the Predominate Stakes, a listed race over 11 furlongs, and the colt finished a creditable fifth. This performance is objectively summed up when you consider that the four who finished in front of him that day were Asian Heights (Gr.3 Winner) , Wareed (Gr.2 Winner), Snowstorm (Gr. 2 placed) and Reduit (Gr.1 runner up at 2 years). An injury sustained brought an end to any future racing plans. (Sesimoid Fracture)
