Tiago, in his only sprint, was a good 3rd after showing some tactical speed in his career debut. His mother, Set Them Free was a sprinter and his sire, Pleasant Tap, best known as champion older horse of '92 after wins in the Suburban and JCGC was an accomplished sprinter. He was 4 for 5 going 7f in his career and was 2nd in the BC Sprint. Pleasant Tap himself was also 2nd in the Met Mile. Tiago isn't an out-and-out plodder the way Giacomo was.
