Speaking of Tampa Bay Downs, their derailing of Gulfstream doesn't stop with the 3yo division.
Anyone notice that well-bred BC Mile runner-up Courageous Cat is making his return to the races in the Grade 3 $150,000 8f Canadian Turf, a mere 2 hours after BC Classic runner-up Gio Ponti makes his comeback in the Grade 3 $150,000 8.5f Tampa Bay BC?
We've come a long way since '89 BC Turf winner Prized and '89 BC Mile winner Steinlen made their '90 debuts when locking horns in the Grade 3 8f Arcadia Handicap at Santa Anita (Prized ripped the very flat Steinlen a new one in that race).
