Default Tap It Rich

Anyone catch the Baffert first out winner Tap It Rich (Tapit) Saturday at SA? Looks like a very serious horse. Fog City paid $510k for him as a KEE yearling.

I was wondering if anyone here would say something about this horse ? Yes Steve, that was fun to watch....Hopefully he stays sound and keeps on improving.

I saw it, tough to get excited about Baffert two year olds as there so many.....where was the smart money on that? Baffert/Smith and a serious horse was 7/2 most of the wagering.

Anyone know the Beyer for his debut? Baffert was talking on HRTV this morning about the BC Juvenile for his next start.

pretty good considering he blew the break, made a early 4 wide, then 3 wide move.

Definitely impressive just on his own, knowing nothing about him. I enjoyed just watching him move afterward. He carries himself well, but then you would too if you'd just won a race and were feeling good. The breeding is no slouch either. Half to Adriano, his dam is a G1 winner and his 2nd dam is half to Bet Twice.

Side note/question: I saw that Tap It Rich's dam Golden Treat was 4th in the KY Oaks, but I checked to see who else was in it and realized the 1992 KY Oaks only had 6 fillies in the race. What's up with that?

There was definitely a time when the race did not carry the prestige that it does now, thats my opinion, now it seems like its the definitive three year old race ahead of the Alabama, think it used to be reversed.

The Alabama will always be the race. Get real, it is the Miss America of 3 year old fillies. Like a beauty pageant as they walk onto the track to run 10 furlongs.

I just watched the replay. Except for the start I thought he looked real good.

HRTV just showed Tap It Rich's work this morning fitted in a right extension blinker. Looked great, perhaps the blinker will do the trick!

Still very keen early but settled nicely and then re-engaged down stretch. Encouraging, but afternoons such a different situation.

Agree Steve. What i found interesting was Smith just let the reins go and was on a very long hold. How often do you see that happen in the afternoon? Encouraging though...
