Klaravich’s Domestic Product Wins Wild Tampa Bay Derby

[Wandering Eyes]

In a GIII Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby delayed by more than 30 minutes due to a tote issue plaguing much of the East, DOMESTIC PRODUCT (c, 3, Practical Joke–Goods and Services, by Paynter) won in a wild scramble at the finish. Most recently the runner-up to Hades (Awesome Slew) in the GIII Holy Bull S. Feb. 3, Domestic Product remained covered up and under a hold while midpack in the Tampa Bay Derby as Good Money (Good Magic) showed the way through tepid :25.25 and :51.14 early fractions. Domestic Product tipped wide off the turn as a calvary charge bore down on Good Money. The photo finish showed mere inches between Domestic Product, who nosed out GIII Sam F. Davis S. winner No More Time (Not This Time), Grand Mo the First (Uncle Mo), and Good Money. Final time for the 8 1/2 furlongs was 1:45.47.

It was the first Tampa Bay Derby winner for trainer Chad Brown and jockey Tyler Gaffalione. The top top five finishers all earned qualifying points on a scale of 50-25-15-10-5 on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.
