This was Miss Tapit's 3rd career race, I saw her first two, she had trouble lines but in her first one (MSW) she ran greenly,
second one (MCL) trouble loading, ran better, had some late trouble. I thought then that Orseno should put her back into a MSW next out.
But today she was in a MCl at GP, won with authority at 3-1 and got claimed by Mike Maker ($35K). I bet her pretty good, like stealing money.
She is by Tapit out of an El Prado mare, she is going to win some money AND for that price you get an interesting breeding line - that alone was worth the claiming price. Her works coming up to this race were perfect, capped by a 1 mile breeze @ 1:44. Sore horses don't workout at a mile. I think that was a great claim.
Not really red-boarding, it's just nice to follow a horse and be the trainer and casH when the time is right.
My stable mail says the mile breeze was 1:39 and change. Doesn't really matter now, but why the confusion?
