Tapit picked up his 52nd ‘TDN Rising Star‘ with daughter Scylla (f, 3, Tapit–Close Hatches, by First Defense)‘s flashy unveiling here at 5-2 against a Keeneland maiden field. Racing midpack and never far from the front behind :22.50 and :46.31 splits, she made an eye-catching move through the far bend to improve position, securing third coming into the stretch. Deep in the lane, the full-sister to Tacitus cruised passed rivals under minimal urging to score by open lengths over favorite Zeitlos (Curlin) and Miss Arlington (Mark Valeski) in 1:10.32.
