Not This Time’s first offerings at the 2020 Keeneland September Yearling sale were topped by a $450,000 colt consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency and bred by Ramspring Farm.
Hip No. 66 was purchased by West Bloodstock on behalf of Repole Stables and St. Elias Stables. The bay colt’s dam Belle’s Finale, an unraced daughter of Ghostzapper, is a full sister to stakes winner Zapper Belle out of the Grade 1 winner Capote Belle.
Not This Time’s other offering during Sunday’s opening session, hip No. 143, also consigned by Taylor Made, went to the Albaugh Family Stables for $300,000. The colt is the second foal out of the Tapit mare Dream Your Dreams, who is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Frost Giant.
Led by Del Mar Debutante (G1) winner Princess Noor, Not This Time has a First-Crop sire-best nine winners and 10 wins and is one of only two freshman sires with a Grade 1 winner.
