Princess Noor became the first Grade 1 winner for leading First-Crop sire Not This Time on Sept. 6 with a thoroughly commanding 6 1/2-length victory in the $250,000 Del Mar Debutante (G1) under a hand ride by Victor Espinoza.

The 2-year-old filly , who brought $1.35 million at the OBS Spring 2-year-old sale,  has been brilliant in both her starts to date, winning by a combined nine lengths while earning $183,000 for Zedan Racing Stables LLC.

Despite an awkward start when she broke inward and lost some ground, Princess Noor quickly recovered and was under a snug hold for the backstretch run. She ranged up three-wide on the turn and easily took the lead. In the stretch, she drew off under her own power and was eased up at the end to finish the seven furlongs in 1:23.15.

“We knew going in she was a special filly,” said her trainer Bob Baffert. ”She showed so much brilliance at the sale, that’s why she cost so much, and we got what we expected to see today. She broke a little off kilter and was behind horses, but Victor didn’t really push her, especially at the end. We’re happy to get the win. We’ll run her back at Santa Anita and then go from there.”

Princess Noor is also the first repeat winner for Not This Time, who has a total of nine winners to date. The dark bay filly was bred in Kentucky by International Equities Holding Inc. and is out of the Grade 3 winner Sheza Smoke Show.
