Not This Time got his 10th First-Crop winner Sept. 16 at Kentucky Downs when the 2-year-old colt Next out-dueled Rockstar Ro to win a $90,000 maiden special weight race by three-quarters of a length.
With 10 winners accounting for 11 wins, including Grade 1 winner Princess Noor, Not This Time leads all First-Crop Sires.
Next, in post 7 in the 6 1/2-furlong contest, broke well and tracked Hard Knocking through a half-mile in :46.75. Next took over the lead in upper stretch, with Rockstar Ro in close pursuit. The runner-up never got by at any point, with the gray stopping the timer in 1:16.33 on the firm turf.
Next is owned by his breeder Silverton Hill LLC and is out of the stakes-placed mare Bahia Beach.
