Destin outworks Outwork for Tampa Bay Derby

Destin (Giant’s Causeway) proved he was no fluke after winning the Sam Davis G3 in Feb, winning the Tampa Bay Derby for his 2nd graded stakes win, and most importantly, stamping his Kentucky Derby ticket for Todd Pletcher at 7-2. He set a new 8.5f track record while he was at it, despite the slow pace.

Outwork (Nonna Mia) looked excellent in his 3rd lifetime start, attempting to go gate to wire but succumbing to the winner in the final strides for a 1 length loss at 4-1. He will need more points to give Todd another Derby entrant.

The rest of the field was far behind, and therefore most aren’t worth mentioning. But we will mention Brody’s Cause and Riker, making their 3yo debut after finishing 3rd and 6th in the BC Juvenile. Both has disappointing efforts.
