Check out my Wednesday (2-4-26) Tampa Bay Downs Race 8 analysis below.
TAM 8 (Clm-16k/2L, F&M, 8.5T) – Post Time 4:25 PM ET
Primary – #5 AMERICANDREAMMAKER, #4 Attending
Secondary – #7 Life Advice
Horse Comments:
#5 Americandreammaker (2-1) rallied to graduate in a local MSW flat mile turf affair (November 2024). She raced once last year and rallied for the show at 8.5T in November (Clm-16k), and she was along for the show in a $25k turf route Jan. 10. She reunites with her winning rider Samy Camacho.
#4 Attending (4-1) rallied for the place in a local dirt route Jan. 3 (off the turf), and she stalked the pace and was second best as the favorite in a similar 8T affair Jan. 21. Sonny Leon takes the call and he is 4-for-16 with Kathleen O’Connell.
#7 Life Advice (3-1) set the pace and missed by a neck in a local $25k turf route as the favorite Dec. 13 and Juan Arriagada claimed her that day. She stalked and weakened to 7th of 8 as the 3-2 favorite in a local $25k claiming turf route Jan. 28. Antonio Gallardo is her new pilot and she drops in class and might be the one to catch.
