Nownownow (foaled April 20, 2005 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the inaugural running of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf in 2007.
Owned and bred by French clothing retailer Fabien Ouaki through his Fab Oak Stable, Nownownow was sired by Ouaki's Grade 1 winner Whywhywhy, a descendant of the American Champion sire, Mr. Prospector. He is out of the French mare Here And Now, a descendant of the French Champion sire, Riverman.
Nownownow is trained by Francois Parisel, who took over conditioning duties after trainer Patrick Biancone was suspended by racing authorities for medication violations. The colt did not get his first win until his fourth start when he won the ungraded With Anticipation Stakes on grass at Saratoga Race Course on August 31, 2007. He entered the Breeders Cup race with that one win from five starts and was made a more than 13:1 longshot by bettors. Racing on a rainy day on a soggy Monmouth Park turf course, Nownownow was ridden by Julien Leparoux. As they headed down the homestretch, Leparoux had Nownownow on the outside and made a powerful run to defeat the betting favorite Achill Island by half a length to capture the $1 million race, The victory gave jockey Leparoux the first Breeders' Cup win of his career.
