Not This Time Share to Be Offered at Saratoga Sale

A share in leading young sire Not This Time (Giant's Causeway) will be offered at Fasig-Tipton's upcoming Saratoga Sale. The share, consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency, will be the first offering on Tuesday, Aug. 8. Online bidding and phone bidding on the Not This Time share will be available.

Not This Time 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 9-years-old, he has a very exciting future ahead of him.”

From just three crops to race, Not This Time has sired five Grade I 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 G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen; Up To The Mark, winner of the GI Manhattan S. and GI Turf Classic S.; Just One Time, winner of the GI Madison S.; and Princess Noor, winner of the GI Del Mar Debutante and subsequently a $2,900,000 broodmare purchase.

Not This Time is a son of three-time leading sire Giant's Causeway. His first dam, GSW Miss Macy Sue, was a 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 GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner and young sire Liam's Map.

Fasig-Tipton has catalogued 216 selected yearlings for the 101st Saratoga Sale, to be held on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 8 and 9, in Saratoga Springs, New York. Sessions will begin each evening at 6:30 p.m. in the Humphrey S. Finney Sales Pavilion.

“We are very bullish on the quality of this year's catalogue,” said Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning. “Superior sire power, elite pedigrees, and the outstanding conformation that buyers expect at Saratoga will be on offer. We have attracted an increased number of siblings to current and recent graded stakes winners this year, as well.”

The Saratoga Sale is once again the top ranked major North American yearling sale by percentage of Grade I winners and graded stakes winners, according to statistics recently released by The Blood-Horse MarketWatch.

Recent sales graduates are led by the brilliant Grade I winners Flightline (Tapit) ($1 million graduate in 2019) and Bleecker Street (Quality Road) ($400,000 graduate in 2019), undefeated on dirt and turf, respectively.

“For more than a century, the Saratoga Sale has sold the sport's biggest stars,” added Browning. “It is not only a sale to find a Grade I winner, but horses that are truly generational.”

The catalogue may now be viewed online, and will also be available via the equineline sales catalogue app. Print catalogues are now available from all Fasig-Tipton offices.
