Not This Time , the current leader of the North American general sire standings with more than $28.4 million in progeny earnings, is now leading the stallion market with a $300,000 fee heading into the 2027 breeding season.
Taylor Made Stallions announced the fee for its marquee sire along with the rest of the farm's roster Oct. 15.
The son of Giant's Causeway has sired 15 grade/group 1 winners from seven crops to race, 42 graded stakes winners, and 79 black-type winners. He continues to have another sensational year in 2026 by leading the ranks not only by progeny earnings, but number of graded stakes winners with 14 and co-leads by number of black-type winners with 23 alongside Into Mischief . He has been represented by five grade 1 winners so far this year, one behind Into Mischief.
Heading into the Breeders' Cup World Championships, Not This Time is expected to be represented by a formidable roster of top-tier talent led by Dubai World Cup (G1) and Stephen Foster Stakes (G1) winner Magnitude, who is a leading contender for the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). Joining Magnitude in Not This Time's possible Breeders' Cup lineup are Rhetorical, a top contender for the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T) following wins in the Turf Mile (G1T) at Keeneland and the Turf Classic (G1T) at Churchill Downs; In Our Time, victorious in the Ladies Turf Sprint Stakes (G1T) at Kentucky Downs and a contender for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1T); and Cy Fair, also a contender in this year's Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint after capping her 2025 season as an Eclipse Award finalist following a victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint (G1T).
Not This Time's other grade 1 winners this year include Bodacious Bay, winner of the Cotillion Stakes (G1) at Parx Racing, and Claret Beret, who won the Apple Blossom Handicap (G1) at Oaklawn Park over reigning champion 3-year-old filly Nitrogen.
Following the trajectory of Not This Time's accomplished runners on the racetrack has been the demand for his progeny in the auction ring. His sale yearlings include a $3 million colt at Fasig-Tipton's The Saratoga Sale purchased by Winchell Thoroughbreds, White Birch Farm, M.V. Magnier, and Resolute Bloodstock. The sire was represented by three seven-figure sales at The Saratoga Sale and 12 during the Keeneland September Yearling Sale, that produced a $2.1 million colt sold to JS Company, for Yosuke Imafuku.
Early Voting , winner of the 2022 Preakness Stakes (G1) and a son of leading stallion and 2017 Horse of the Year Gun Runner , will stand the 2027 breeding season for $50,000. The freshman sire is one of two in his sire class to be represented by a grade 1 winner, alongside Life Is Good . His undefeated daughter Miss Monica won the Del Mar Debutante Stakes (G1) and is a leading contender for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).
Early Voting's first-crop horses caught the eye at this year's 2-year-olds in training sales. In addition to Miss Monica, who sold for $850,000 at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale, Early Voting was represented by 10 others that sold as juveniles for more than $200,000. During the yearling sales, his top seller brought $1.25 million during the Keeneland September sale from M.V. Magnier and White Birch Farm.
Instilled Regard , a royally bred grade 1 winner by Arch, will stand for $12,500 next year. He has been represented this year by Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes (G1T) winner Minaret Station, who is a strong contender for Breeders' Cup Turf (G1T).
Arthur's Ride , winner of the 2024 Whitney Stakes (G1) with a 112 Equibase Speed Figure and 110 Beyer Speed Figure and a son of Tapit from a family of champions, will stand for $10,000.
Arkansas Derby (G1) winner Angel of Empire , who will have first yearlings in 2027, will stand for $5,000. Dr. Schivel , a grade 1 winner at 2 and 3 by Violence , will stand for $5,000. Dr. Schivel was represented by first yearlings up to $170,000, and he will see his first 2-year-olds hit the track in 2027.
Idol , winner of the 2021 Santa Anita Handicap (G1) and a son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin , will also stand for $5,000. His first runners this year are led by 6 1/4-length maiden special weight winner Box Office Hit, who also finished third in the Best of Ohio Miss Ohio Stakes.
Instagrand , a son of Into Mischief and a leading third-crop sire, will stand for $3,500. He is the sire of 2026 multiple stakes winner Superwolf and stakes winner Grand Harbor.
