Ready to roll in his second career race, Blackout Time (Not This Time--Beauty Parlor, by Elusive Quality) did not disappoint his backers as he ran up the score at Ellis Park on Saturday afternoon and earned himself a shiny new 'TDN Rising Star' for his coat. In his debut at Churchill Downs June 29, the colt was a runner-up to Dazzle d'Oro (Bolt d'Oro) who garnered himself a 'Rising Star' for that effort. Sadly, Dazzle d'Oro had to be humanely euthanized after sustaining a catastrophic injury during training at Saratoga...

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - In the first race of her career Friday, Time to Dream (Not This Time) showed that she could very well have been given a fitting name. After overcoming trouble under jockey Jose Ortiz, the Repole Stable bay stormed from off the pace in the stretch to win the seventh race, a $100,000 maiden special weight for 2-year-olds by 2 1/4 lengths over pacesetter Maiora (Speightstown).

The aptly-named Time to Dream (Not This Time) impressed in her career unveiling Friday to become the newest 'TDN Rising Star' at Saratoga for trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Mike Repole. Racing as part of a coupled entry with stablemate Flighttown (Practical Joke), the 7-2 shot was drawn nearly widest of the field in this one-mile turf event and despite a clean beginning, was outrun was a host of rivals to her inside. Jose Ortiz guided his filly down to race a path off the hedge just outside of Curly...

With five fillies in the 70th running of the Woodbine Oaks, chances were high that it would be a Mark Casse runner to beat them all. The hard part, or so it was thought, would be figuring out which one would step up to win it. No Time (Not This Time) did just that in fine style to take home the hardware carrying the colors of Gary Barber. With only two prior lifetime wins--her maiden score on the grass last September and two back June 1 over the synthetic track...

4th-ELP, $100K, Msw, 2yo, 1mT, 2:16 p.m. ET. A $500,000 buy during Keeneland September, PIASTRI (Not This Time) gets behind the wheel for L & N Racing and Robert Zoellner.

Boule is a half-sister to GSW Tide of the Sea (English Channel) and her own grand dam is MGISW Tates Creek (Rahy), who is responsible for...

Long live the classy mares. A fan favorite and honest as the day is long, Future Is Now (Great Notion) was ultra game in the lane to take home the GIII Caress Stakes at Saratoga. Off the board just once in her last 10 starts, the Michael Trombetta-trained star has won six of them including the GII Intercontinental Stakes and GII Franklin Stakes last year, and she kicked off her 2025 season Apr. 13 at Keeneland with a nose victory in the GIII Giant's Causeway Stakes over multiple Group/Graded stakes-placed...

And thus the queen of flowers blooms again. 'TDN Rising Star' Leslie's Rose (Into Mischief) has rediscovered her best stride and gamely took home the GII Shuvee Stakes at Saratoga Friday afternoon. Eased up in the stretch last out June 6 in the GI Ogden Phipps Stakes when the track turned into slop she hated, it had been the most recent in a series of tough-luck jumps for the daughter of Into Mischief. Her prior three starts before then were the GI Acorn Stakes and GI CCA Oaks last year--where...

Facing winners for the first time Thursday at Saratoga, the 4-5 favorite...

An eye-catching debut is often a signal of big things to come. Spectacular Grey (Not This Time) gave her connections a lot to dream about at Monmouth Park Saturday when she earned 'TDN Rising Star' honors via a sensational unveiling. Coming into the race for trainer Alexis Delgado, who only had one other starter recorded for 2025 and no winners, the grey's July 4 four-panel move from the gate in :47.60 (2/24) showed the betting public enough to award her 5-1 odds against a salty field. Off a bit slow...
