A filly sired by red-hot stallion Not This Time, whose dam was sired by Drakenstein Stud’s champion sire Trippi, was purchased by Tonja Terranova, agent, for $225,000 to top the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s Selected Sale of Yearlings yesterday.

Consigned by Lisa McGreevy’s Abbie Road Farm, the filly (Hip 149) is out of Midnight Magic (by Midnight Lute).

Terranova said of her buy, “We just loved her from the first time we saw her.She’s a big raw-boned good-looking filly with a great walk on her. Very smooth.”

Her G3 Iroquois Stakes winning sire Not This Time, a half-brother to dual G1 winner Liam’s Map, has made a scintillating start with his first two-year-olds in 2020, and is currently the second Leading 1st-Crop Sire, by progeny earnings, in North America.

At the time of writing, Not This Time had been responsible for 13 first crop winners, with his tally headed by the brilliant, unbeaten filly Princess Noor. The latter has won all three of her starts, with Princess Noor’s victories including fluent wins in both the G1 Del Mar Debutante and G2 Chandlier Stakes.

A son of Giant’s Causeway, Not This Time was produced by Trippi’s high-class daughter Miss Macy Sue -whose 11 career wins included a triumph in the 2007 G3 Winning Colors Stakes.
