CTHS BC • May 22, 2018

BC-bred Tiptoe went from breaking her maiden in her first lifetime start on April 22 to winning a 2nd level Allowance May 19 in the 3rd race at Hastings Racecourse. She did it with the same stalking style, guided professionally home, 4 1/2 lengths clear, by jockey Amadeo Perez, covering the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:19.52. Tiptoe is trained by Dino Condilenios for the juggernaut stable Swift Thoroughbreds Inc. who purchased her out of the 2016 CTHS BC Thoroughbred Sale for the very reasonable price of $29,000. The three-year-old, bay filly by Tiz Wonderful out of Harmony Creator was bred by Whitewood Farm. It is interesting to note the first 3 finishers of the 6 starters in this Allowance field were all BC-bred, while the last 3 were bred elsewhere. We call that a BC-bred trifecta.
