Havre de Grace’s Saint Tapit for two at Spa
SAINT TAPIT (c, 3, Tapit—Havre de Grace, by Saint Liam) graduated four lengths at its debut in Belmont June 26 and was favored with an 8-5 scoreline to repeat here on the first try with the winners. With the new track sealed off after rain fell on Saratoga, the green blood chestnut tracked from a two-third wide to a quarter-wide opening: 22.93. He drew even with the lead as the first half increased: 45.74 and remained in even condition while about four turns home. Saints Tapit kick it halfway over the line, splashing to win over a late running Anejo (Freud). Lifetime record: 1-1-0-0.
