High demand for Not This Time at Fasig-Tipton Midlantic sale

Not This Time, one of the early leaders of his freshman sire class, continued to be commercially popular at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale, with a $650,000 colt checking in as the third-highest price of the sale.

Not This Time, a Giant’s Causeway horse who stands at Taylor Made Farm in Nicholasville, Ky., is represented by three winners from five starters through June, leading his class by individual winners. He averaged $247,500 from four juveniles sold at Fasig-Tipton Midlantic, led by a Maryland-bred colt purchased by bloodstock agent Lauren Carlisle from the consignment of Classic Bloodstock, as agent. The colt, who worked a furlong in 10 1/5 seconds during the under-tack preview show, is the first foal out of the winning Indian Charlie mare Sanctissima, a half-sister to Grade 2-placed Flying Private.

Earlier in June, Not This Time recorded the sale-topper at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s spring sale of 2-year-olds in training, with a $1.35 million filly sold to Gary Young. In addition to that filly, out of Grade 3 winner Sheza Smoke Show, he was represented by a $575,000 colt at that sale.

Not This Time, a Grade 3 winner as a juvenile, averaged $63,746 from 68 first-crop yearlings sold at public auction last year, more than four times their conception stud fee of $15,000. He is averaging $193,690 from 29 juveniles sold this year.
