Tapit's Tesseron Scores First Out at Woodbine

TDN MAGAZINE, The International Difference: Part III of A Painful Truth: "Welfare in Europe means to train the horse without any chemicals and make him race if he can face the challenge,” says France Galop's Dr. Roland Devolz. “In your country, welfare means to be allowed to use as many drugs as possible to ensure the horse will support training and race."

+TESSERON (c, 2, Tapit--Cute Cognac {SW, $121,800}, by Hennessy) a $357,000 FTSAUG yearling who RNA'd for $220,000 at FTFFEB, was the 4-1 second choice behind prohibitive favorite River Seven (Johannesburg), who was dropping out of a pair of on-the-board stakes tries. He settled well early in the two path, one spot ahead of the caboosing favorite, who opted to make his move down on the inside along the bend. But by the time the chalk had navigated his way through traffic, Tesseron was already well in front after taking the overland route. River Seven did his best to reel in the leader, but Tesseron struck the wire a half-length in front with a 10 1/4-length chasm back to third. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $34,006.
