Zayas Hitting His Stride with a Big Boost from Pletcher
Edgard Zayas teamed with trainer Todd Pletcher for a victory with a promising Florida Sire Stakes-eligible juvenile for the second racing day in a row at Gulfstream Park Wednesday.

After guiding Tamiami to a late-rallying triumph in a maiden special weight race for 2-year-old fillies on Sunday, Zayas returned to the Gulfstream winner's circle after riding Son of a Beast to a gutsy front-running score against seven Florida-bred 2-year-olds Wednesday.

The victory aboard the son of The Big Beast was Zayas' 58th of the Spring Meet at Gulfstream to place him at the top of the jockey standings. The defending Spring Meet riding champion has received considerable support from Pletcher, the leading trainer who left a talent-deep string at Gulfstream after wrapping up his 16th Championship Meet training title March 29.

“I appreciate the opportunity he's always given me. He's always given me an opportunity on his horses,” Zayas said. “We just got to keep working as hard as we can for him and hopefully stay lucky.”

Son of a Beast, who is owned by breeders Jettany Thoroughbred Corp. and JAG Racing, was rushed to the lead shortly after the start of Wednesday's five-furlong Race 2, encountered heavy pressure from Tiger on the turn and through the stretch and battled his way to victory by three-quarters of a length.

“He's a big horse for that distance. I think he's definitely going to go longer. He broke good and I had to rush him a little bit, but once he got into stride he had a beautiful stride,” Zayas said. “Once he got pressure from that other horse, it helped him. It encouraged him to finish up strong.”

Son of a Beast, who ran five furlongs in 59.06 seconds as the 3-2 favorite, established himself as a prominent prospect for the 2020 Florida Sire Stakes series that is scheduled to get under way Aug. 1.

As for Zayas, who will celebrate his 27th birthday Saturday, he's looking forward to building on his Spring Meet momentum.

“I'm hitting my stride again with all the opportunities from the owners and trainers,” he said. “Hopefully, this is the time to hit my stride and keep it going for a long time.”

Gulfstream Park Ups Rainbow Jackpot Guarantee To $350,000; Zayas Bags Quartet

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $350,000 Wednesday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the fifth consecutive racing day Sunday, when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $880.60.

The carryover jackpot is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Pletcher-Trained Tamiami Has Bright Florida Sire Stakes Future
AIA Racing LLC's Tamiami showed abundant resilience in the face of adversity in her career debut at Gulfstream Park Sunday, overcoming a stumbling start to rally for a narrow victory in Race 2, a five-furlong maiden special weight event for Florida-bred 2-year-old fillies.

The Todd Pletcher-trained filly stamped herself as a prominent prospect for the upcoming Florida Sire Stakes series that will get under way Aug. 1.

The homebred daughter of Rattlesnake Bridge, who was favored at 6-5, impressed jockey Edgard Zayas with her determination while competing against eight other Florida Sire Stakes-eligible fillies.

“She didn't break as good as we were expecting. I've worked her in the morning and she's been doing really good. I thought for sure she was going to break very sharp, but it changed our plans when she stumbled out of the gate,” Zayas said. “She kept trying and running and finished really good. I think she has a bright future.”

Tamiami rallied from eighth to win by a head over Frankly My Dear, a daughter of Jess's Dream who set a pressured pace and fought on to the wire.

Zayas, the Spring Meet's leading jockey, rode four winners on Sunday's program, including Gelfenstein Farms LLC's Summer Kid ($8.20), an impressive maiden winner in Race 6. The Gustavo Delgado-trained 3-year-old son of Lemon Drop Kid made an impressive four-wide sweep to the lead coming off the turn into the homestretch and pulled away to a 3 ¾-length triumph in the mile maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds and up. Pletcher-trained 4-year-old Tatweej, a $2.5 million yearling purchase, finished third after chasing a solid early pace in his belated debut.

The 26-year-old defending Spring Meet champion also scored aboard Calentita ($6.80) in Race 3 and My Sarasota Star ($6.20) in Race 8.

Tiz the Law Carries on Florida Derby Tradition with Belmont Win
Tiz the Law's victory in Saturday's Belmont Stakes (G1) represented the 17th time a starter from the Florida Derby (G1) has won the prestigious classic event.

Tiz the Law, who captured the March 28 Curlin Florida Derby by 4 ¼ lengths at Gulfstream Park, also became the 60th winner of a Triple Crown event to have started in Gulfstream's signature race for 3-year-olds.

Tiz the Law, the son of 2014 Florida Derby winner Constitution, was stabled throughout the winter at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training center in Palm Beach County, with trainer Barclay Tagg. Sackatoga Stable and Tagg, who teamed for Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness (G1) wins in 2003 with Funny Cide, got their Belmont Stakes victory 17 years later with another talented New York-bred.

A winner of the Champagne Stakes (G1) at Belmont last year, Tiz the Law kicked off his 3-year-old season by winning the Feb. 1 Holy Bull (G3) at Gulfstream before dominating the Florida Derby.

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $300,000 Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved Saturday for the fourth consecutive racing day since last Saturday's mandatory payout.  Multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $32,442.56 Saturday.

Out of the Grade 1 stakes-winning Tiz Miz, the debuting Tatweej was purchased for $2.5 million at the 2017 Keeneland September sale.

Earlier on Sunday's program, Pletcher will be represented by debuting Tamiami in a five-furlong maiden special weight race for 2-year-old Florida-bred fillies. AIA Racing's homebred, who is rated at 5-2 in the morning line, is by Rattlesnake Bridge.
