GSP Howling Time (Not This Time--Werewolf, by Arch) will stand as a new sire for 2026 at the Midwest Vet Hospital in Trafalgar, Indiana, according to Tommy Wente on Saturday who purchased the 6-year-old for an undisclosed amount in a deal brokered by Lisa Groothedde. Wente said that a stud fee will be determined at a later date. Initially purchased during Keeneland September by Albaugh Family Stables for $200,000, as a juvenile Howling Time won at first asking under the Twin Spires then took home the Street Sense Stakes over...

After packing in so many rehearsals the previous week, as close to the Breeders' Cup as modern trainers might dare run a horse, the stakes schedule slackened off steeply last weekend. But that didn't mean the stallion of the moment had to do the same. Not This Time duly came up with a 1-2 in the GII Franklin Stakes at Keeneland, maintaining his momentum after five stakes winners the previous weekend were crowned by a 1-2-3 in the GIII Jessamine Stakes. It was not just because of this hot streak,...

The Fasig-Tipton November sale added another pair of supplements to the catalogue with Grade I star power to their families Monday, namely Streak of Luck (Old Fashioned), the dam of MGISW Ted Noffey (Into Mischief), and MSW Avana (Vino Rosso). The former, who is by a son of leading broodmare sire Unbridled's Song, will go through the ring as HIP 220 via the Taylor Made Sales Agency consignment for Aaron and Marie Jones. She was purchased by said owners back in 2021 for $620,000 at the KEENOV sale. The 'TDN...

Tracy Farmer's Time To Dazzle, last seen finishing second behind In Our Time  in a 6 1/2-furlong optional claimer over the Kentucky Downs turf Sept. 10, turned the tables on that rival with a powerful last-to-first rally to win the GII Franklin Stakes at Keeneland Sunday. The 3-1 shot settled at the back of the field as In Our Time battled favored Luna Louska (Complexity) on the front end through a blistering opening quarter in :20.65. In Our Time skipped away entering the straight and was clear as the half...

2nd-KEE, $110k, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2fT, post time: 1:32 p.m. ET Kia Joorabchian's AMO Racing USA splashed out $900,000 for THAILAND (Not This Time) at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale, and the chestnut colt is a candidate to offer only a fraction of his 3-1 morning line at post time. The chestnut is a son of dual Grade III winner Queen Bee to You (Old Topper), making him a half-brother to Princess Madison (Speightstown), third in the 2024 GII Charles Town Oaks for Rigney Racing. Queen Bee to You is...

References on the subject of time are legion. "Time is of the essence." "A stitch in time saves nine." The Rolling Stones sang in 1974, "And time waits for no one." Speaking of endgames there is, "No amount of money ever bought a second of time"--you can use that Tony Stark nugget if you want. In the world of Thoroughbred auctions, everyone from the consignors to the bidders are always racing against the clock. Of course, there is plenty of innovation out there to assist before a decision needs to...

In its annual Report of Mares Bred (RMBs) released Thursday, The Jockey Club estimates that the 2026 foal crop will be 17,000. That represents a slight decline of 300 from the 2025 crop. The foal crop projection is computed by using RMBs received to date for the 2025 breeding season. RMBs are to be filed by August 1 of each breeding season. The number of mares bred has fallen every year since 2015, when 34,122 mares were bred. Over that ten-year period, the foal crop has dropped by 28%. During...

With a plethora of Breeders' Cup berths up for grabs over the past weekend, Repole Stable's Final Score (Not This Time) grabbed the last one when taking Keeneland's GII Castle & Key Bourbon Stakes, a qualifier to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar. Final Score was driven to the front from the word jump, rolling out and opening quarter mile in :22.51. Soon running head-and-head with Casa Cielo (Caravaggio)) through a :47.69 half, he continued to play cat-and-mouse what that rival into the final turn. With Irad...

Looking for her first black-type win, Cy Fair (Not This Time) exploded from off the pace to win Woodbine's BET365 Algonquin Stakes Sunday afternoon. Cy Fair's career debut at Saratoga in July was good enough to earn her a TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, badge after she ran off to a 3 1/4-length victory in the 5 1/2-furlong test. Beaten a desperate neck in the Bolton Landing Stakes over that course and trip Aug. 17, the bay was nonetheless backed into even-money favoritism to make things right this time....

Well supported for his stakes debut, Schwarzenegger (Not This Time) went to the front and stayed there, holding on to win by a half-length over TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard, Obliteration (Violence). Sprinting through a quarter mile in a crisp :21.17, the bay was clear turning for home and dug in late as a trio of runners came up to his haunches but were unable to get by the 2-1 favorite at the wire. Obliteration was a neck in front of Rogue Legend (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) and it...
