It is hoped that by this time young apprentice Huayas has learned the lessons taught him by his young partner Tigre (9-5) who has everything gong for him today.
The Roger Laurin trained colt has not had the easiest of trips in his last three attempts and one can check out any of those runs to validate that assessment.
His last is probably his best effort against competition, Florida-bred In Reality Stakes rivals, that are a lot tougher than he meets here. See Gulfstream Park, OCT 1, Race 10.
Saddled with a wide draw in a large field, he lost considerable ground early, weaved is way through to reach an attending position on the turn, a premature run that cost him at the end but still managed to secure the place.
Even though he was far back early, the pace was extraordinarily fast and he did well to finish as willingly as he dd. Today he draws inside, can save ground and energy and run this bunch down when given his cue.
Betting Tigre to win, no price restrictions, and a quinella with Live Is Life (4-1) who made a strong Tapeta debut vs. stakes rivals following a maiden win.
