BAHAMIAN MOON – The 6-year-old mare bred by Good Beginnings Farm became the third runner by her sire to surpass the $200,000 mark in career earnings. Ridden by talented newcomer Madeline Rowland, Bahamian Moon shot to the lead on the Tapeta track and continued on to a half-length score, passing the markers in :22.70, :45.56 and :57.33.

TAINO HOUSE – The 6-year-old gelding, another Dizney-bred, stalked the early pace in fourth while chasing swift fractions of :21.97, :44.97 and :56.98, before uncorking a strong stretch run under Aldo Arboleda that resulted in a nearly two-length score.

Taino House paid $15.80, collected a check of $6,700 and received his highest Equibase ‘E’ speed figure in 24 starts, an 83.
