Tampa Bay Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
FORTUNATE RYDER (4) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth in a 1609m contest at Gulfstream Park eight weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. EFFICACY (10) was beaten 1.3 lengths into second at Laurel two starts ago then finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at Laurel (Turf). Backmarker who keeps coming. Great chance to break through. GRAND LIAM (7) closed last prep with a tenth over 1811m at Colonial Downs on September 6. Worth noting that he opened the last campaign with a minor placing at Colonial Downs over 1710m. Has managed four minor placings from five runs at this circuit. One of the main contenders. AND THATS MY STORY (5) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first try on a turf track under new trainer Michelle Castillo. Finished eighth at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1308m at the first-up run last time in work. Should be prominent from the outset. Not to be discounted.
