Dazzling juveniles, sensational sprinters and a bounty of winners have become the trademark for GREAT NOTION.

And in 2011, his son HAVELOCK has become one of the best turf sprinters in the nation! The 4-year-old is a two-time graded winner, and has captured three stakes at three different tracks, and earned $320,159 for the year. And he’s a hot prospect for this year’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint-G2!

HAVELOCK is one of five stakes horses from 44 starters (11 percent) for the year for GREAT NOTION. His 2010 Maryland Million Lassie-winning daughter DOING GREAT returned to just miss a course record at Colonial Downs when taking the Oakley S. in July. And GREAT NOTION got his second consecutive juvenile winner on Maryland Million day when GLIB swept to an easy score in the 2011 Nursery.

The top Mid-Atlantic freshman sire of 2008, GREAT NOTION has proven to be a great source of winners. He ranks as the most prolific sire of winners (71 percent) in the Northeast in 2011. His career numbers are equally as impressive—nearly three-quarters of his lifetime starters have won, and they have average earnings of more than $50,000. In 2011, his runners have earned nearly $6,000 per START—that is double his stud fee!

From a family loaded with champion sprinters and milers, GREAT NOTION blazed through three seasons. Undefeated at 2, he came out at 3 to set astounding fractions of :21 3/5, :43 3/5 and 1:08 3/5 in Saratoga’s King’s Bishop S.-G1 before being caught at the wire, while finishing ahead of GHOSTZAPPER. Speed, class, consistency. . . GREAT NOTION is passing the same ability to his offspring.
