The Wednesday feature at Tampa Bay Downs is a one-mile
turf race for two-year-old fillies, with the prominent Graham Motion and Christophe
Clement among the trainers.
It is the eighth race with scheduled post of 3:48
p.m. First post is 12:25 p.m. for a
nine-race card. Four of the races are scheduled for turf.
The dirt track is listed as fast and the turf is
listed as firm. The Weather Channel forecast is for a zero percent chance of
rain.
The eighth race has a $22,500 purse and an optional
claiming price of $75,000.
Motion will send out Full of Zip and Clement will send out Sea Harmony. Each won her career debut, rallying from back in the
pack, and will be making her second start.
They likely will be chasing Rockin, trained by Keith Nations and to be ridden by Pablo Morales.
On Nov.28 at Laurel Park in Maryland, Rockin led gate to wire and won at 5 ½ furlongs
on turf.
Sea Harmony won at one mile on the turf at the
Meadowlands in New Jersey on Oct. 5.
Anthony Crastus has the mount today.
Full of Zip won at 5 ½ furlongs on turf at Laurel on
Sept. 25.
After a slow start, Full of Zip was in ninth place by
15 lengths after a half mile. She rallied to win by 1 ½ lengths.
She was ridden by Trevor McCarthy, who
remains riding in Maryland.
For Wednesday, Motion has given the mount to Angel
Cruz.
Last Saturday Cruz rode the Motion-trained Conscription
to a win in the feature race at 1 1/16 miles on turf for three-year-old
fillies.
Pin Oak Stud in Kentucky is the owner and breeder of
Full of Zip and of Conscription.
None of the three horses listed above are in for the
$75,000 optional tag.
