Joe Orseno acknowledges the 7-year-old mare Tracy Ann’s Legacy may be a step slower at this stage of her career, but he’s hoping a brief freshening and a return to her favorite surface can bring her back to form in Wednesday’s second-level allowance/optional $32,000 claiming event scheduled for five furlongs over the Tampa Bay Downs turf. Tracy Ann’s Legacy, a 7-year-old daughter of Shackleford, has four wins and two seconds sprinting on turf at Tampa. Her most recent win came in a starter allowance at Tampa in April. She has gone 0 for 3 since, most recently running sixth in the Select Stakes at Monmouth on Aug. 13. She is in for the $32,000 on Wednesday. “She’s always had some little issues,” Orseno said. “When I freshened her up after Monmouth, we he had her pointing to this race all along.” Tracy Ann’s Legacy has won 11 races from 42 career starts. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs!

She kind of depends on Lasix.” Orseno, who has 18 stalls currently at Tampa, is off to a strong start with three wins from seven starters. Another horse in Wednesday’s feature coming off a three-month-plus layoff is Insatiable, who goes out for trainer Gregg Sacco. Insatiable, a 4-year-old daughter of Constitution, won a first-level allowance sprinting at Monmouth on Aug. 20. Sacco said he had Insatiable entered in a race at the Meadowlands that got canceled due to rain. “The time off didn’t hurt her. She settled right in. Her works on the dirt have gone very well, she’s coming into the race the right way,” said Sacco, who has a 1-4-4 record from 13 starters at the meet. “This is a competitive race on paper, but I think it’s winnable if she brings her ‘A’ game, which according to the way she’s been training, I think she will.” Other contenders include Covenant Lady, who won a second-level turf sprint at Horseshoe Indianapolis on Sept. 12, and Sol Hope, who won two turf sprints at Colonial during the summer before running disappointingly over Gulfstream’s synthetic surface and finishing last of nine in an off-the-turf allowance at Keeneland in October. Patriot Spirit to Sam Davis Patriot Spirit, the 1 3/4-length winner of Saturday’s Inaugural Stakes at Tampa, could make his next start in the Grade 3, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa on Feb. 10, trainer Michael Campbell said. “As I sit here today, I’m more focused on going two turns with him from this point on,” Campbell said Monday by phone from Tampa. “He’s had four starts at 2, one more than I would have liked. He’s a very sound horse.He can handle it.” All four of Patriot Spirit’s races have come around one turn. He is by Constitution out of the mare Mistical Plan, who won the Grade 2 Fair Grounds Oaks around two turns. Patriot Spirit, with blinkers off, came from off the pace to win the Inaugural over the late-running Crazy Mason. He ran six furlongs in 1:10.26 and earned a 75 Beyer Speed Figure. “With the blinkers off, he was much more disciplined than he ever was with the blinkers on,” Campbell said. “I was impressed by the way he broke so alertly. He had the opportunity to be sent, yet he was told to relax and he did that.” Meanwhile, trainer Gregg Sacco said he wants to get Inaugural runner-up Crazy Mason out around two turns. He is considering an allowance race or the Grade 3, $200,000 Lecomte at Fair Grounds on Jan. 20. Coming off two disappointing efforts leading into the race, Sacco said he changed to a Houghton bit on Crazy Mason and added a tongue tie for the Inaugural. “He switched his leads right on cue. Now we’ll stretch him out, which is what we think he wants to do,” Sacco said. “We’re still very high on him.” Sanchez enjoying Tampa Jockey Mychel Sanchez has won four races from 15 mounts at Tampa Bay Downs as he attempts to ride two tracks this winter. Sanchez will spend Mondays through Wednesdays at Parx, where he is the leading rider, and Fridays and Saturdays at Tampa, which will add Sundays beginning Dec. 24. Sanchez, who spent Sunday at Aqueduct, where he won the Statute of Liberty Division of the New York Stallion Series on Morning Matcha, said he went to Tampa to ride for outfits, such as Jamie Ness, that he previously rode for on the Mid-Atlantic circuit this summer. “It works out really, really good for us so we decided to do that,” Sanchez said. “We got off to a good start, hopefully we can keep going. I love it, not only the weather, but the place is nice, the people are great – they’ve really welcomed me – and they have a really nice turf course and a nice dirt track. Hopefully, we can make it a good trip.” :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
