5 out of 8 people have chosen Not This Time as one of the leading first-crop sires in TDN's "So... Who's The Leading First-Crop Sire of 2020?" column:
"[The Not This Times] all just seem to step up. We lean on them and they handle extra pressure well. They look precocious and they're well balanced. It's a great sire line. I think they're going to come out running and I think they're going to come out early. They look like they could be versatile in that they could go turf or dirt." - Nick de Meric, 3/17
"I have two Not This Times and I like them. They're both quick." - Becky Thomas, 3/18
"I have a Not This Time that I bought in July last year. He's an incredibly fast horse with a tremendous amount of talent. He reminds me a lot of Nadal (MG2W) at this stage, but this one is a little bigger, stretchier, and a touch more athletic than Nadal. He's very good minded.- Randy Bradshaw, 3/20
"My under-the-radar stallion would be Not This Time. We had a filly slated for Gulfstream that could be any kind of filly. She's big and very precocious. My neighbor has a colt that is a carbon copy of her, so if Not This Time continues stamping them like this, he could be a real force at the top of the list." - Jimbo Gladwell, 3/22
"The Not This Time that I have are really impressing me. I'm finding that they have good speed when I press on them, combined with big, dreamy body types. They have the full package, so they could be dynamite." - Brandon Rice, 3/26
