Antonio Sano Readying Pair Of Promising 2-Year-Olds For Saratoga Meet

Trainer Antonio Sano started making plans for the upcoming Saratoga Race Course meet after saddling his fourth 2-year-old winner of the Spring Meet at Gulfstream Park Saturday.

The popular Venezuela native has been particularly impressed with Papetu, a five-length winner in his Saturday debut, and Hara, a filly who also graduated with a five-length victory Friday.

“The two horses are the best horses in my barn,” said Sano, who has saddled 21 winners, five fewer than leading trainer Todd Pletcher, during the Spring Meet. “I'm going to send Papetu and Hara to Saratoga.”

Papetu was always in control over his nine rivals under Leonel Reyes. Purchased by Magic Stables LLC for $80,000 at the 2019 Keeneland September sale, Papetu is by Dialed In, the sire of Sano-trained multiple graded-stakes winner Gunnevera. The first-out win hardly surprised his trainer, but the manner in which he dismissed his rivals was a bit of a revelation.

“I expected him to come from behind and close. The race came up different. It was a surprise to me,” Sano said. “He is a good horse. I told the owner that this was a very good horse.”

A day earlier, Sano sent out Hara, who scored a dominating front-running triumph in a 5 ½-furlong dash for fillies. The daughter of Hard Spun, who is owned by Briannjenn Racing LLC, was purchased for $30,000 at the 2019 Keeneland September sale.

Sano has enjoyed success in the past while sending promising 2-year-olds from South Florida to Saratoga, most notably with Gunnevera, who scored his first graded-stakes victory in the 2016 Saratoga Special (G2) on his way to earning $5.5 million.

Earlier in the meet, Sano saddled Swaggy George, a son of Not This Time, for a four-length triumph in a five-furlong maiden special weight race taken off the turf. The Sano-trained Espia, a son of Creative Cause who finished third behind Swaggy George, came right back to capture a 5-furlong maiden special weight event on turf.

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.

There will also be a $4,193.03 Super Hi-5 carryover heading into Wednesday's program.

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 60^th 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.

Rainbow 6 Has $300,000 Guarantee Sunday At Gulfstream Park

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.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, kicking off with a mile maiden special weight race for 3-year-olds and up, including Shadwell Stable's Tatweej, a 4-year-old son of Tapit trained by Todd Pletcher. 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.
