Juveniles by Not This Time and Laoban tie for fastest in OBS July breeze show

Juveniles by freshman sires Not This Time and Laoban shared the time for the fastest furlong as the under-tack preview for the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.'s July sale of 2-year-olds and horses of racing age concluded a six-session run on Sunday.

The filly by Not This Time and the colt by Laoban are both May foals born in New York. They each breezed a furlong in 9 4/5 seconds on the Ocala Training Center's all-weather Safetrack surface to tie for the bullet move in advance of the sale, which runs from this Tuesday through Thursday.

The Not This Time filly, consigned by de Meric Sales, as agent, is out of Exotic Design, who has produced two winners from five starters. The A.P. Indy mare is out of multiple Grade 1 winner Exotic Wood, making her a full sister to stakes winner Key to Power.

Not This Time, a Grade 3 winner as a juvenile, has emerged as one of the early leaders of this freshman class and has been commercially popular. He 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 at Taylor Made Farm. He is averaging $193,690 from 29 juveniles sold this year, led by a $1.35 million filly who topped the OBS spring sale, and a $650,000 colt who was the third-highest price at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic sale.

The Laoban colt, consigned by Coastal Equine LLC, as agent, is out of the winning Henny Hughes mare One Look. That mare is a half-sister to graded stakes-placed Before You Know It and Instant Reflex. Graded/group stakes winners Funny Duck, King Guillermo, Olmodavor, and Slow Pace appear on the catalog page.

Laoban, who recently recorded his first winner at Ellis Park, stands in this colt's home state of New York. He is one of the first sons of young classic sire Uncle Mo to sire a winner.

A colt by Half Ours worked a quarter-mile in 20 1/5 seconds to hold the sole fastest time at that distance. The Louisiana-bred colt, who is consigned by Blue River Bloodstock, as agent, is out of the winning Into Mischief mare All About Ju Ju. It is the family of Japanese Group 3 winner Ferrari Pisa.
