TAP TO IT, runner-up in the the G1 Spinaway Stakes to Rachel's Valentina, breezed 7/8ths of a mile this morning over the Belmont main track 3 1/2 weeks prior to the G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
The gray daughter of Tapit began with fractions of 12.80, 24.40, 36.00, cruising to the top of the lane in a speedy 59.00. She was under some mild encouragement by Joel Rosario finishing okay to the wire in 1:24.00 and did gallop out a strong mile in 1:37.20.
This was the first time I've seen this filly work and it seems like she has some of the mental traits that Tapit offspring usually inherit. She had her head cocked a bit and was trying to lug out a tad as well but the talent is clearly evident. More to come from colleague Dave Grening as to her shipping plans for Lexington.

That workout could have been a Grade 1 win if they had run her this weekend in the Frizette. How do people leave odds-on favorites in the barn for $400K Grade 1 races?
