SOUPER TIMES (c, 3, Not This Time–Royale Paradise, by Unbridled's Song), a first-time starter debuting around two turns, broke widest of the 10-horse field but shifted down to be just two wide into the first turn while racing mid pack. Never far off the front and enjoying a clean trip past the half in :47.53, the 8-1 shot began to come under a drive while fanning out six across the top of the stretch as the group began to chip away at Global Prosperity's (Global Campaign) lead. With a strong final sixteenth, Souper Times surged past the pacesetter to hit the wire a half-length ahead of Candytown (Speightstown) to his inside. The $370,000 FTSAUG grad is a half to GIII Las Virgenes Stakes runner up Queen of Thorns (Violence) and to SP Bano Solo (Goldencents). Royale Paradise saw her 2023 Uncle Mo colt bring $550,000 to the partnership of SF Bloodstock, Starlight Racing and Madaket Stables at Keeneland September last year but lost her 2024 Not This Time foal and was barren on a Tapit cover for 2025. Sales History: $370,000 Ylg '23 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
