Tapit Shoes | Horse Racing Free Tips

While currently ranked 28th in points and on the outside looking in for the GI Kentucky Derby, Red Route One punched his ticket to the second jewel of the Triple Crown with a win Saturday in the Bath House Row S.

After bursting onto the scene with a third to Derby favorite Forte (Violence) in the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity last fall, Red Route One earned a pair of placings in both the GIII Southwest S. and the GII Rebel S. before faltering to sixth when last spotted in the GI Arkansas Derby. Racing with Lasix for the first time Saturday, the chestnut put his typical running style into action, breaking nicely but falling back to trail the field as Victory Formation paced them through a :22.87 opening quarter. Under an easy ride from eighth, he started to pick up the bridle into the far turn and tipped out to carry his momentum past the furlong pole. Tapit Shoes was game to the inside but Red Route One got the better bob to take the narrow win on the wire.

Out of a full-sister to champion 3-year-old filly Untapable, Red Route One is also out of a half to GISW Paddy O'Prado (El Prado {Ire}). Red House has not produced a foal or been reported bred since Red Route One. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

7th-Fair Grounds, $54,000, Msw, 12-3, 2yo, 1 1/16m, 1:46.90, ft, 7 1/2 lengths.

TAPIT SHOES (c, 2, Tapit–Awesome Flower {MSW & MGSP, $556,593}, by Flower Alley) made the most of a troubled trip at first asking, tackling a sloppy track at Churchill Oct. 30 to wind up sixth after trailing most of the race. With the addition of both blinkers and Lasix Saturday, the half-brother to Cyberknife (Gun Runner), MGISW, $2,087,520 had the betting public's favor, going off at 8-5 over the same distance as his debut. Racing again off the pace in seventh, Tapit Shoes settled outside of horses up the back straightaway and began to pick rivals off into the turn. Put to a drive while four wide past the quarter pole, he drove clear despite racing greenly a furlong from home, hitting the wire much the best while wrapped up the final sixteenth to be 7 1/2 lengths ahead of More Than Five (More Than Ready). From the family of G1 Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup winner Well Armed (Tiznow) and GISW American Patriot (War Front), Tapit Shoes has weanling half-brother by Authentic who brought $575,000 from Whisper Hill Farm at this year's Fasig-Tipton Fall Mixed sale. Awesome Flower was bred back to Gun Runner for a full-sibling to Cyberknife in 2023. Sales History: $300,000 Ylg '21 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $33,678.
