Royally bred Tamara, winner of the GI Del Mar Debutante on Sept. 9, returned to the work tab Wednesday at Santa Anita Park for trainer Richard Mandella. With Hall of Famer Mike Smith in the irons, the daughter of Bolt d'Oro out of four-time champion Beholder went three furlongs in 36.0 seconds.
“It was an easy three-eights,“ Smith said. “She went around there nice and happy.”
Tamara is expected to make her next start in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita on Nov. 3, which would be her first try around two turns. This week Mandella said Tamara would likely skip the G2 Chandelier here a week from Saturday and head straight to the Breeders' Cup.
Tamara won her debut by 2 ¼ lengths when going 6 ½ furlongs at Del Mar on Aug. 19. Wheeled back three weeks later in the seven-furlong Debutante, Tamara crushed 11 rivals by 6 ¾ lengths when Smith in the irons.
Tamara is campaigned by breeder Spendthrift Farm.
