Tampa Bay
Derby – Tampa Bay Downs
Win: Tapit
Trice
The three-year
was bred in Kentucky and raced for Whisper Hill Farm, LLC and Gainesway Stable.
He competed at Aqueduct and Gulfstream Park and won a one mile Allowance race
at Gulfstream on Feb. 4 this year. The son of Tapit posted a time for 1:36.44
over Shesterkin and Live Is Life.
Tapit Trice has
gone a mile in three races in his early career. He is stepping up in distance
and grade in the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby. However, he was bred to go plus a
mile on dirt. Trained by Todd Pletcher, Tapit Trice has worked out at Tampa Bay
Downs over the past few weeks.
Place:
Shesterkin
Sired by Violence,
this three-year colt was also bred in Kentucky and trained by Todd Pletcher. Shesterkin
finished first at Gulfstream Park in late December in his last race as a
two-year old. He covered a seven-furlong sprint in 1:24.18 past Case and
Kentucky Joke.
At Gulfstream
as a three-year old colt, Shesterkin place second in that Allowance race on
Feb. 4. He is also stepping up in distance and grade in the Tampa Bay Derby
with a 6.59 rating by Horse Racing Nation.
Show:
Classic Legacy
Trained by
William Mott, he finished fourth in the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes last time
out at Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 11. As a two-year old Thoroughbred, he raced at
New York horse tracks including Belmont Park, Saratoga and Aqueduct. Classic
Legacy won the seven-furlong sprint at Aqueduct on Dec. 31 of last year.
As a son of
Into Mischief, he went 1 1/16 miles on dirt in his first competitive outing at
Tampa Bay and his home-track advantage should get him into the money in this major
graded stakes race. Classic Legacy has worked out at this track since the beginning
of last month.
