Overview

Not This Time is not only one of the most accomplished young stallions on the planet, but one of the most versatile, with world-class horses in divisions ranging from turf sprints to dirt marathons. This colt is a registered Florida-bred who hails from an accomplished family that includes G1P Drew’s Gold.

He settled at the Middleburg Training Center for his early training and was made eligible for the lucrative Virginia Residency Program.

Nearly joined the Todd Pletcher barn in Saratoga on July 11, 2025 and made his debut at the Belmont at Aqueduct meet October 26. He is now based at Palm Beach Downs in Delray Beach, Florida for the winter.  He scored his first win in his second start winning easily on November 22 at Gulfstream Park against maiden Florida-breds.  Hall of Famer John Velazquez rode to capture the win by 9 1/4 lengths.  Nearly added another win on his third start, overcoming a significant bump as the gate opened and drawing off to win by five lengths.  A 66% win statistic and a 96 Beyer, this is an exciting colt, and we couldn’t be happier for the partners involved,
