Goal Oriented, a colt by Not This Time, made a remarkable debut at Santa Anita on April 6, 2025, claiming a maiden special weight victory with a strong 3¼-length win. Trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Juan Hernandez, the colt surged from off the pace with an eye-catching move around the turn, stopping the clock in 1:10.01 for six furlongs.

Out of multiple graded stakes winner Bizzy Caroline—half-sister to champion Lady Eli—Goal Oriented was a $425,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase. Owned by a powerhouse partnership including SF Racing, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, and others, the colt’s stellar performance earned him the coveted ‘TDN Rising Star’ recognition.

 Goal Oriented was bred by Runnymede Farm LLC & CWC Investment 2. Bizzy Caroline is expecting an Up To The Mark foal in 2025.
