OLDSMAR, Fla. - Domestic Product and No More Time, separated by a neck at the finish of Saturday’s Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby, will likely take different paths to the Kentucky Derby, their connections said Sunday. Domestic Product, who got up in the final stride under Tyler Gaffalione, will more than likely get one more start before the May 4 Kentucky Derby, trainer Chad Brown said Sunday. No More Time, whose runner-up finish in the Tampa Bay Derby came one month after winning the Sam. F. Davis, will most likely train up to the Kentucky Derby, trainer Jose Francisco D’Angelo said Sunday. Domestic Product, who now has 60 qualifying points to the Derby, will either run next in the Grade 1, $1 million Blue Grass at Keeneland or the Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, Brown said. Both races are on April 6. “I don’t know if I’m comfortable with the layoff with this horse into a mile-and-a-quarter dirt race like this,” Brown said Sunday. “It might be a tall order.” :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs!

First, the Tampa Bay Derby was delayed by more than 30 minutes due to a tote delay that led all horses to be walked around the paddock tacked-up for a longer-than-usual period. Domestic Product, as did most of the horses, handled the delay well. Further, Domestic Product also had to overcome another slow pace - the early fractions were 25.25 seconds for the quarter, 51.14 for the half and 1:16.21 for six furlongs - as he did when second to Hades in the Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 3. He also took some bumping from both third-place finisher Grand Mo the First and, nearing the wire, No More Time. “I think he got a lot of good experience,” Brown said. “He rated behind horses, he took some steady bumping from the third-place finisher [Grand Mo the First], he persevered and shrugged that horse off to get in between horses and get his nose down. I’m very, very pleased with the amount of experience he gained and some additional conditioning.” Domestic Product was shipped back to Payson Park, where he has trained all winter, and early indications are he came out of the race well. “He looks good, he’s back at Payson, he jogged up sound this morning,” Brown said. Brown has a couple of other Derby prospects, including Sierra Leone, who is targeting the Blue Grass, Tuscan Gold, who will run next in the Louisiana Derby on March 23, and potentially Top Conor, who will race next in either the Florida Derby at Gulfstream on March 30 or the Wood Memorial. Domestic Product, a son of Practical Joke owned by Seth Klarman’s Klaravich Stables, as well as No More Time and third-place finisher Grand Mo the First all earned an 82 Beyer Speed Figure for the Tampa Bay Derby. D’Angelo said No More Time is on the smaller side and could benefit from the eight weeks in between races, though he left the door slightly open to change his mind. “I think it’s better for the horse to go straight there and not run in between,” D’Angelo said. “So many things can happen in between. It’s not the final decision, but to me it sounds like a plan right now.” D’Angelo said he was “very happy” with the way No More Time ran Saturday. “The pace was slow, he ran good, the horse wanted to win,” D’Angelo said. “He ran a huge race.” No More Time, a son of Not This Time, has 45 qualifying points to the Derby between his Sam Davis win and Tampa Bay Derby second-place finish. No More Time returned to the Palm Meadows training center on Sunday. D’Angelo said he would have a small string at Keeneland this spring and that No More Time would ship to Kentucky early. Trainer Victor Barboza said Grand Mo the First, who earned 15 points toward the Derby, will likely be pointed to the Grade 1 Florida Derby on March 30 in an attempt to gain additional qualifying points. Grand Mo the First, third in the Swale Stakes prior to the Tampa Bay Derby, is based at Gulfstream. “My horse ran very well, the pace in the race was slow, which is no good for my horse but my horse finished good,” Barboza said. “I have to speak with the owner next week, but my first option is the Florida Derby.” :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
