TAP RAP STRIKE (c, 2, Tapit&log=">Tapit–Cherokee Queen {GSW, $628,312}, by Cherokee Run), an $875,000 OBSMAR buy after breezing in :10 3/5, tracked from fourth through modest opening splits in this debut. Inside on the backstretch, the 6-5 favorite came around rivals three wide into the stretch and rallied down the center of the stretch to nab the dueling duo of Tattered (Union Rags) and Incubator (Stephen Got Even) late for a half-length success. Tattered remained a half-length clear of Incubator at the line. The winner is a half to Entertainer (Malibu Moon), MSP, $147,140. Their GSW dam did not have a foal in 2016, but produced an American Pharoah filly earlier this term and was bred back to Tapit. Sales history: $500,000 RNA Ylg '16 FTSAUG; $300,000 Ylg '16 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $27,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
