Tatweej earns 103 Beyer for allowance victory

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Tatweej rebounded from a sixth-place finish in the Harlan’s Holiday Stakes on Dec. 14 at Gulfstream Park with a solid allowance win Thursday at Aqueduct.

Tatweej ran by the pacesetting favorite Dreams Untold to win by 3 3/4 lengths. His final time of 1:36.65 was the fastest of 77 one-mile races run at the Aqueduct fall meet. Tatweej, a 5-year-old son of Grade 1 winners Curlin and Tiz Miz Sue, earned a 103 Beyer Speed Figure.

“I was pleased with his race for sure,” trainer Todd Pletcher said Friday. “You’re always a little concerned when you ship into a snowstorm, but he seemed to handle the ship fine, handle the track fine. I thought he ran well.”

Pletcher said he hadn’t spoken to Alshareef Alabadali, the owner of Tatweej, to discuss what might be next for him. Pletcher said Tatweej would remain in New York for the time being until those plans are ironed out.

Potential stakes options include the $125,000 Stymie here or the Grade 2, $200,000 Gulfstream Park Mile, both on Feb. 27.
