Notional (born February 1, 2004 in California) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse currently in pursuit of prep race wins en route to the U.S. Triple Crown series. He was sired by In Excess and out of the mare Truly Blessed. His damsire, French Deputy, is a son of the 1997/98 Leading sire in North America, Deputy Minister.
Trained by Doug O'Neill, racing at age two Notional's best showing in a stakes race was a third in the 2006 Hollywood Prevue Stakes.
In his three-year-old debut, Notional won January's Grade II San Rafael Stakes at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California by four lengths under jockey Corey Nakatani. Sent to the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana in February, Notional scored a 2 1/4 length win in the Risen Star Stakes under jockey Robby Albarado in a race where favorite Circular Quay was seriously impeded as a result of a race accident.
