'Wicked' Victory for Tapit Juvenile at the Spa

Just Wicked | A. Coglianese

6th-SAR, $83,000, Msw, 7-24, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:06.63, ft.
JUST WICKED (f, 2, Tapit–Wicked Deed {SW}, by Harlan's Holiday) finished a close second to course record breaker Magnolias in Bloom (Flatter) as the even-money favorite in her turf sprint debut at Belmont June 14. Given a 3-1 shot for this surface switch in a loaded first open maiden of the Saratoga season, the gray stalked from a rail skimming third through early splits of :23.11 and :47.27. Slipping through on the fence in mid-stretch, she turned back a game effort from first timer Lady Devil (High Cotton) to score by 1 3/4 lengths. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $64,800.
