Just One Time was testing graded stakes waters for the first time in Saturday’s $200,000 Inside Information S. (G2) at Gulfstream Park, and the 4-year-old Not This Time filly proved up to the task with a hard-fought three-quarter length victory.

The chestnut filly already had a pair of stakes wins on her resume, and with Saturday’s victory, she upped her earnings to $289,595 for Commonwealth New Era Racing and Warriors Reward LLC, the latter also her breeder.

Just One Time was a bit restless in the starting gate, leaving her in the back half of the 10-horse field as they raced up the backstretch. With about three furlongs to run, she began her move while racing well off the rail. She came five-wide into the stretch, then ran past Jakarta inside the final furlong, and ultimately held off Four Graces to secure the win.

“Turning for home she was reaching out and I could feel her confidence,” said winning rider Joel Rosario. “I felt pretty good at that point that she was going to run big. With the slow break and [going wide], she was the best horse in the race.”

Pedigree Notes from the TDN
