Weekend Winners Club

Tampa Bay’s Saturday March 9 card included several stakes races featuring the Tampa Bay Derby G2. Let’s see how that went down, and what The Grid had to say about the matter.

R11 5:25ET 8.5f D TamDby-G2 3 YO:
The surprise winner was Tacitus at 9-1, 3rd in EP and 4th in Speed, in a race without much speed in it.
In 2nd was Outshine at 6-1, 3rd in LP and Stamina. In 3rd
3rd place was 7-5 favorite Win Win Win, top in Power, LP, and Stamina.
4th place was a surprise to the public at 19-1, but no surprise to us, Zenden who was 1st in EP and Speed, and 2nd in Power rating.
5th place went to Sir Winston at 46-1, who was 4th in LP and Stamina, and had the 2nd best PF at this distance range.
The 2nd and 3rd choices finished off the board, leading to some great payouts despite the favorite finishing ITM.
.
$1 Exacta: $64.60
$0.50 Trifecta: $115.50
$0.10 Superfecta: $236.62
.
So even though we missed the $1 super, we did have the dime, $2 exacta, and 50 cent tri, and ended up with over $500 in that one race, making up for favoritism dominating the previous 3. You could have had it too by using The Grid.

Don’t believe? Here is the Tampa Bay Derby day Grid, edited only to remove scratched horses and insert final running order and odds for ITM horses. We issued this Grid free last Saturday, so if you didn’t use it, that’s on you.
