The Beyer Speed Figure for the Tampa Bay Derby was changed for a second time. The Puma, who won the race, has now been assigned a 94 Beyer for his victory. The Beyer was initially a 95 but was soon changed to an 89. After The Puma came back to run second, beaten a nose, in the Grade 1 Florida Derby on March 28 and Further Ado, second in the Tampa Bay Derby, came back to win last Saturday’s Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes by 11 lengths with a 106 Beyer, the Tampa Bay Derby figure was re-adjusted to a 94. Horses who won maiden races at Tampa in February also had a big day on Saturday at Aqueduct, with Albus winning the Grade 2 Wood Memorial and Always a Runner taking the Grade 3 Gazelle for 3-year-old fillies. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
