Tampa Bay 5th

[Dahoss]

A few thoughts on the race.

Score One's dam was 6 for 14 on the turf including a listed stake at Tampa.

Chief Redneck's dam was 5 for 23 on turf, and was in the money in 9 other turf starts, winning over 100k.

Ninja Warrior, as Kev mentioned is bred very strongly for grass, being a full to War Monger, who was 4 for 13 on grass and won over 500k. He's also a half to Brickell who won over 300k on grass. Trainer has had success with Danny Coa riding.

Ransom Canyon's dam was 7 for 15 on grass and she was also a half to 6 figure turf earners.

Horvat Clan is the trip horse.

Soul of the Moon's dam is half to Marcavelly who won a couple of grade 3's on the grass.


Horvat Clan is the one to beat and if he repeats his last, he's going to win. I think the 2,3,4 and 5 are all interesting pedigree plays. I give the edge to Ninja Warrior, although maybe the board tells a better story. The real wild card to me is Score One. Sporadic works, but the kind of horse I've seen light up the toteboard. Very interesting race.
