Wine On Tap Dispenses With First Maiden Win

Wine On Tap | Chelsea Durand

1st-Belmont, $87,300, Msw, 6-18, 2yo, f, 5f, :58.74, ft, 3 lengths.
WINE ON TAP (f, 2, Tapit–Princess La Quinta {GSW, $178,148}, by Quality Road) debuted here as the even-money co-favorite alongside Looks First (Mor Spirit). Breaking from post four, the gray filly tracked a longshot from second up the backstretch, pulled even with her rival past the quarter pole and went on to graduate by 3 lengths over the late-running Ilikefunsize (Upstart). The winner is her dam's first to make the races, but she does have a 3-year-old half-brother named Rapacious (Into Mischief), who was in-utero when Aaron & Marie Jones purchased Princess La Quinta in 2019 at the Keeneland November sale for $600,000. In 2021, the colt went for $400,000 Ylg KEESEP to SF Bloodstock/Starlight/Madaket. Wine On Tap also has a yearling full-sister. Sales History: $600,000 Ylg '22 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
