Game debut winner Tap the Faith targets Demoiselle

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Tap the Faith, who overcame a slow start to win her career debut by a head, is likely to run in next Saturday’s Grade 2, $250,000 Demoiselle Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Aqueduct, trainer Christophe Clement said.
A daughter of Tapit out of the Grade 1 Alabama winner Embellish the Lace, Tap the Faith was a $1.25 million yearling purchase by Claiborne Farm. She is listed as being owned by Manzanita Stables.
“She’s a beautiful filly, she’s very attractive,” Clement said.

Clement said he was impressed by Tap the Faith’s debut, which earned a Beyer Figure of 71.
“She overcome a bad start and she was on the inside and was a touch green,” he said. “I know her [speed figure] may not have been the best number of the year but it doesn’t matter. The way she did it I thought was impressive.”
