OLDSMAR, Fla. – Saturday’s trifecta of stakes certainly was the day’s main attraction at Tampa Bay Downs, but earlier on the 11-race program, the stakes winner Nesso made her 2015 debut a spectacular one. Sidelined since September, last year’s Gasparilla Stakes winner went right to the front at the start of a second-level optional $32,000 claiming sprint, cut out a solid half-mile of 46.08 seconds over a wet racing strip listed as “good,” and then kicked away to a long lead with a furlong left. Through the final furlong, jockey Daniel Centeno had the 4-year-old Nesso on cruise control, and the filly coasted home with plenty left in the tank, winning by 5 3/4 lengths. Trained by Sandino Hernandez, Nesso was stakes-placed on turf when racing on the West Coast last season and is eligible for several upcoming stakes, including the $75,000 Distaff Turf at 1 1/16 miles for Florida-breds on Florida Cup Day, April 4. And speaking of Hernandez, the trainer added another win Sunday, when Uno Concerto romped to a 7 3/4-length tally over bottom-level claiming routers. Hernandez now has eight wins from just 21 starts at the meet, a 38 percent clip. Tough day for Smith stable The barn of trainer Robert Smith had high hopes for a pair of runners on Saturday’s program, but as the old saying goes, if they hadn’t had bad luck, they wouldn’t have had any luck at all. In the seventh race, Smith sent out Smoke N the Bottle for her first start since an easy maiden win at Monmouth Park last summer. But the filly stumbled and almost went down after she was hammered from between rivals a few jumps after the start of the first-level optional $16,000 claiming sprint, as Miss Lauren Ann took a right turn leaving the gate. To her credit, Smoke N the Bottle regained her footing and still was able to race in close attendance to the pace into the final furlong before her earlier troubles finally caught up with her and she wound up in a dead heat for fourth. World Gone Wright carried the Smith outfit’s hopes in the $96,250 Lightning City Stakes with blinkers added for the first time, but after prompting the pace set by eventual winner Double Secret, she lost any chance when Sweet Emma Rose checked over the winner’s heels in the turn and came to bump World Gone Wright, causing Centeno to check his mount and lose all momentum. And to add further insult, World Gone Wright also was in tight quarters in midstretch before winding up seventh. Fortunately, she came out of the race none the worse for wear. Undaunted, Smith is looking for a spot around two turns on turf for his runner. “Danny [Centeno] thinks if we give her a chance to relax, she’ll be able to handle the distance,” Smith said. The weekend wasn’t a complete loss for the stable, as Anchorwoman rallied through the late stages to take the opener Sunday. Two riders on comeback trail Ricardo Feliciano, who had been sidelined since late fall while recovering from a broken collarbone sustained in a spill at ThistleDown, rallied late aboard Jango to take the fifth race Saturday for his uncle, trainer Miguel Feliciano, and then came back Sunday to boot home Jersey Blue Giant for his father, trainer Benny Feliciano. Feliciano won on his fourth mount since returning to action. The rider finished tied for seventh at Presque Isle Downs last summer with 47 wins and added 31 tallies at ThistleDown and seven more wins at Mountaineer in a year that saw him put in more than his fair share of road time among the three ovals. Huber Villa-Gomez also won his first race on the comeback trail when he took the nightcap Friday aboard Jumpin’joey for Luis Dominguez.
