Check out my Wednesday (12-4-24) Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 analysis below.
TAM 8 (OC-32k/2x, 7f dirt) – Post Time 4:00 PM ET
Primary – #2 SEA ART, #1 Adios Babe
Secondary – #4 Brookmesa, #5 Yellow Flowers
Horse Comments:
#2 Sea Art (8-1) reconnects with her winning rider Pablo Morales and she likes this course (6 3-2-0) and distance (9 3-1-0). She won back-to-back local dirt sprints under Morales earlier this year including a similar affair at seven panels in April.
#1 Adios Babe (3-1) fired trifecta shots in her last five starts. She exits a nice win in the slop as the favorite at Gulfstream, and she hit the board in all four starts at seven panels. Juan Avila is sending out live runners at the current stand (3 2-1-0) and her winning rider Melvis Gonzalez (7-pound apprentice) stays put.
#4 Brookmesa (6-1) rolled to big dirt sprint wins on Aug. 28 and Sept. 8, and was nowhere as a 31-1 outsider in the Weather Vane Stakes Sept. 22. The tactical 3-year-old filly gets the services of Samy Camacho and he is 11-for-28 at Tampa Bay.
#5 Yellow Feathers (7-2) was not embarrassed in the Weather Vane last time. She made a wide middle move from post 10 before weakening to 8th of 11. She romped in her other two dirt sprints including a local maiden win late last year. She is probably the one to catch for Team Spieth.
