Not This Time Share To Be Offered At Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale
Fasig-Tipton will offer a share in leading young sire Not This Time at its upcoming Saratoga Sale. The share, consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, will be the first offering in the auction's Tuesday session on the evening of Aug. 8.
Not This Time has quickly established himself as one of North America's leading sires. He finished sixth in the general sire rankings in 2022, trailing only Into Mischief, Curlin, Gun Runner, Uncle Mo, and Tapit.
“The Not This Time share is a very exciting addition to our Saratoga Sale this year,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “He is off to a remarkable start at stud, and at just nine years old, he has a very exciting future ahead of him.”
From just three crops to race, Not This Time has already sired five Grade 1 winners, 11 graded stakes winners, and 27 black type winners. His progeny include Epicenter, Eclipse Champion 3-Year-Old Male of 2022; Sibelius, winner of this year's Group 1 Dubai Golden Shaheen; Up To The Mark, winner of the G1 Manhattan Stakes and G1 Turf Classic Stakes; Just One Time, winner of the G1 Madison Stakes; and Princess Noor, winner of the G1 Del Mar Debutante and subsequently a $2.9-million broodmare purchase.
Regally bred, Not This Time is a son of three-time leading sire Giant's Causeway. His first dam, Miss Macy Sue, was a graded stakes winner and track record setter who finished third in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint.
Not This Time is a half-brother to three stakes winners, including Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner and successful young sire Liam's Map. Further information about Not This Time may be found by clicking here.
Prospective buyers should contact Taylor Made's Ben Taylor at (859) 221-1464 or Travis White at (859) 396-3508 for further information, including the syndicate agreement.

Springboard Mile Winner Wildatlanticstorm Continues Comeback, May Target Oklahoma Derby
Wildatlanticstorm, the 2022 Springboard Mile winner and the seasonal Horse of the Meeting, was the first to move over the main track at Remington Park this morning. He appeared on the track at 6am sharp, under clear skies with temperatures in the low 70s.
The track opened for light training with the beginning of the Thoroughbred season 3-1/2 weeks away.
Trainer Ray Ashford was pleased with how things went for Wildatlanticstorm. The large chestnut, who crossed the scales at 1,238 pounds on Springboard night, continues his comeback efforts.
“He got across the track pretty good,” Ashford noted. “He's doing fantastic.”
A resident of Moore, Okla., Ashford is optimistic for Wildatlanticstorm, owned by Jim Jorgensen of Thornton, Iowa. The 3-year-old Iowa-bred colt by Stormy Atlantic from the Big Brown mare Imsortaspecial is returning to action after a minor setback occurred in January.
“We were all pretty excited after the Springboard. The calls were coming in from tracks inviting Wildatlanticstorm to compete in their 3-year-old stakes races,” Ashford recalled. “We were kicking our options around and gave him a half-mile breeze at Sam Houston.”
That Jan. 6 move went in :51 over a fast track, continuing to give confidence to the Wildatlanticstorm team.
“Then the next day, he seemed to be a tick off. So, we X-rayed him and found the bruise,” Ashford said. “That started the slow process. It takes a long time to heal.”
On July 15, more than six months since the half-mile work in January, Wildatlanticstorm was ready to begin a faster training regimen. He was given a three-furlong breeze at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas, handling that in :40.
Ashford is hopeful his two-time stakes winner at Remington Park (Clever Trevor and Springboard) will have another breezing work very soon. As for racing options, the Grade 3 Oklahoma Derby on Sept. 24 is obviously on the schedule since Wildatlanticstorm earned a free pass into the event with his Springboard score. However, that might be a bit ambitious.
“To be honest with you, that is coming up pretty fast,” Ashford said. “We will look at it. Since he is Iowa-bred, possibly the $100,000 Iowa Breeders' Derby at Prairie Meadows on Sept. 30. That will probably be a much easier spot than the Oklahoma Derby.”
Ashford is looking forward to the Remington Park season, with 38 horses on the grounds. In addition to the horses in his care, he hopes he will have another training Ashford competing with him in Oklahoma City soon.
“Tristan (21), earned his training license and is doing really well up in Iowa at Prairie Meadows. He and his brother Logan, helped bring up Wildatlanticstorm last year. The horses they have might be able to make it in here soon.”
The Remington Park surface opened for jogging and galloping with nearly 500 horses taking advantage of the opening Tuesday to leave their barns for exercise. Official workouts won't begin until next week over a surface that received a summer renovation. The project was delayed numerous times by weather in a summer that is currently fourth all-time for precipitation in Oklahoma City.
The 67-date Remington Park Thoroughbred Season begins Friday, Aug. 18 and continues through Springboard Mile Night on Friday, Dec. 15.
Tracked by more than 176,000 fans on Facebook and 10,600 Twitter followers, Remington Park has provided more than $325 Million to the State of Oklahoma general education fund since the opening of the casino in 2005. Located at the junction of Interstates 35 & 44, in the heart of the Oklahoma City Adventure District. Remington Park presents simulcast racing daily and non-stop casino gaming.
