Dazzling sprinters, sensational juveniles and a bounty of winners have become the trademark for Great Notion!

Maryland’s Stallion of the Year every year since 2016, Great Notion has topped all Maryland sires with more than $3 million in progeny earnings the past two years. His top runners of 2019 include ANNA’S BANDIT with her seven stakes wins, and graded stakes sprinter LEWISFIELD.

Great Notion has 55 stakes horses (16% of his starters), 78% winners from starters, average earnings per starter of more than $80,000.  He continues to add to his Maryland Million numbers with two winners in 2021 – the 12th year in a row he’s had least one winner on the card.  He’s sired sensational graded turf sprinters HAVELOCK (a five-time graded stakes winner of $655,752) and  Ruby Notion, a five-time graded stakes winner two-time course record setter, and Jazzy Idea, as well as sprinters on the dirt and turf horses going long.

More than a third of his stakes horses had stakes success at 2.

Himself a dazzling sprinter, Great Notion was undefeated at 2 and Gr. 1-placed at 3.
