9th-DMR, $60K, Msw, 2yo, 6 1/2f, post time: 9:05 p.m. ET
It's hard to find better credentials than those sported by Summer Wind Equine homebred MAGIC ON TAP (Tapit&log=">Tapit), as his first three dams are all GSW who each went on to produce graded stakes horses. Out of GI Humana Distaff S. winner Aubby K (Street Sense), this colt will be unveiled by trainer Bob Baffert, who already has 'TDN Rising Star' Chasing Yesterday (Tapit) for this owner. This colt's full brother 'TDN Rising Star' Principe Guilherme was a multiple winner last year at two and is GSP this year. TJCIS PPs
