Another Tapit Sharp in Debut at Gulfstream

3rd-GPX, $41,400, Msw, 3yo, 6f, 1:09 1/5, ft. 
+ANCHOR DOWN (c, 3, Tapit–Successful Outlook {GSW, $110,720}, by Orientate), a half-sister to recently retired “TDN Rising Star” Sweet Lulu (Mr. Greeley), GISW, $693,600, gave his sire a fourth impressive maiden winner in the month of January at Gulfstream Park, overcoming a tardy dispatch to graduate at first asking here. Bet down into 6-5 favoritism, the $250,000 Keeneland September acquisition found himself back in fifth position after hitting the gate at the start in the field of six while racing behind horses and off the inside early on. Guided in to the clear by Javier Castellano at the three-eighths pole, Anchor Down made eye-catching progress turning for home, struck to the front with a furlong to race and was on his wrong lead and green late, but reported home two lengths to the good of Tuneintobow (Concorde’s Tune). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,000. Click for the brisnet.com chart or VIDEO.
