NEEDLESS TO SAY (f, 2, Not This Time–Camille C {MSW & GSP, $400,205}, by Roman Dancer), favored at 3-2, gave her freshman sire (by Giant's Causeway) his ninth winner, his second of the day, and his second impressive debut victress of the weekend at Del Mar. The dark bay filly was away sharply and was soon at the head of affairs, setting fractions of :21.93 and :45.90. She extended her advantage down the lane without being asked and finished geared down and 3 1/4 lengths to the good of Ensley's Dream (Smiling Tiger). Harris Farms purchased Camille C, with Needless to Say in utero, for $25,000 at the 2017 Keeneland November sale. The mare, who was third in the 2010 GII Hollywood Oaks, produced a colt by Clubhouse Ride in 2019 and a filly by Mr. Big in 2020. She was bred back to Smiling Tiger this year. Not This Time's daughter Princess Noor was tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' after her sparkling debut at Del Mar Saturday. The Taylor Made stallion was represented by his eighth winner when Time Goes On won the five race at Prairie Meadows just shortly before Needless to Say's victory Sunday.
