Not This Time scored a First-Crop leading 11th winner on Thursday at Belmont Park when the filly Secret Love drew off impressively in the final furlong to win her debut by 6 1/4-lengths.
The chestnut filly is owned by Tobey Morton and Nedlaw Stable, who purchased her for $270,000 at the OBS Horses of Racing Age sale this past July.
Secret Love was bred by Sequel Stallions and Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings. Her dam Exotic Design is a daughter of top-class mare Exotic Wood, a three-time Grade 1 winner.
Not This Time also had the session-topping yearling Thursday at Keeneland, with Royal Flush Racing going to $115,000 for hip No. 3839, a colt consigned by Trackside Farm on behalf of Tenlane Farm.
Not This Time’s Grade 1 winner Princess Noor will make her next start in Saturday’s Chandelier S. (G1) at Santa Anita Park, her final prep before an anticipated start in the Breeders’ Cup in early November.
