Peck: Tampa Bay horses to watch for week of March 1
Hadron
Trainer: Anthony Rini
Last race: Feb. 23, 2nd
Finish: 5th by 6
Beyer: 52
He came out of a fast race in his prior try, and then landed in a race where the heavy favorite was able to control the tempo from start to finish; figures to be a live longshot back in against $5,000 nonwinners of a race in six months going long.
Shea’s Cool
Trainer: Forrest Kaelin
Date: Feb. 24, 2nd
Finish: 4th by 5
Beyer: 67
Off the board here but she was less than a length out of second, and she closed well here considering the odds-on favorite and eventual winner controlled the pace from the start.
Irish Sweetheart
Trainer: Kathleen O'Connell
Last race: Feb. 25, 6th
Finish: 4th by 6 3/4
Beyer: 50
Early trouble cost her position in this one but she impressed with a late run, catching the eye in defeat for the second consecutive race; may be able to graduate vs. maiden claimers in her return.
