In 1996-97 he produced the winners of 220 races, a record for a NSW-based sire.

Switch In Time won six races in the US before he was shipped to Australia to begin his stud career.

Other good winners by Switch In Time have included Horology, Sectional Time, Deferred, Steelswitch, Kylangi, Full Switch, Never Late and Strathpark.
