Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Nownownow will make his 2008 debut in the Stan James Two Thousand Guineas (Eng-G1) on May 3 at Newmarket.

The Two Thousand Guineas also will be Nownownow’s first start in Europe after making each of his six starts as a juvenile in the United States.

The three-year-old Whywhywhy colt was transferred to trainer David Wachman in Ireland following the Breeders’ Cup.

"The plan is to go to the Guineas at the moment," Wachman told Racing Post. "The ground over here is so bad we have not given him a race. He seems a very nice horse, and it's a pleasure to have him in the stable."

A homebred of Fabien Ouaki’s Fab Oak Stable, Nownownow made his first five starts for trainer Patrick Biancone. He won the inaugural Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf by a half-length on yielding turf on October 26 at Monmouth Park for trainer Francois Parisel.

Parisel took over Biancone’s Breeders’ Cup contingent after the embattled French trainer agreed to a six-month suspension and an additional six months away from training for possession of Alpha-Cobratoxin, snake venom that can be used as a painkiller.
