Not This Time now has 24 winners, most of any First-Crop sire, after Yes This Time tallied a two-length maiden win on the turf at Fair Grounds on Dec. 5.
No other freshman sire has more than 17 winners this year. Not This Time’s offspring have won 30 races in 2020, 12 more than any other sire’s first crop of runners.
Yes This Time was never more than two lengths from the lead at any point of Saturday’s one-mile race, taking the lead for good at the top of the stretch and ridden out for the win.
The winner is owned by his breeder Barry Golden. Yes This Time’s dam Smarty Jilly’s siblings include Grade 2 winners Pacific Wind and Strike a Deal.
After his progeny’s stellar first season, Not This Time is standing the 2021 season for $40,000 S&N.
