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.
