TAPIT KISSIT WINIT (c, 2, Tapit–Let It Ride Mom {GSW-Can, GSP-USA, $380,501}, by Into Mischief), sent off the 8-5 second choice for his debut, broke awkwardly as favored Crucial Taunt (Karakontie {Jpn}) rushed to the front while Springer (Complexity) completely blew the start, checking out early. Settled into a track fourth as the pacesetter raced through a quarter in :22.17, the Live Oak homebred began to pick up the tempo as Miss Mitole (Mitole) bolted and threw out the anchor leaving the far turn. With only a pair of rivals ahead of him, the Mark Casse trainee overtook Wagstaff (Yorkton) in deep stretch and was up in time to pass the tiring Crucial Taunt late. Wagstaff held second while the pacesetter took third. The winner is out of Grade III scorer Let It Ride Mom, who is also responsible for a yearling filly by Gun Runner and a filly foal by Tapit. She was bred back to Uncle Mo. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,596. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
