Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 2, 2019 Journalists Share Posted February 2, 2019 TAX (g, 3, Arch–Toll, by Giant’s Causeway), claimed for $50,000 two back, continued to pay dividends for his new connections, gutting out a three-way battle in the GIII Withers S. at Aqueduct. Runner-up on debut Sept. 29 at Churchill, the dark bay graduated stretching out to two turns Oct. 21 at Keeneland and was plucked from Claiborne Farm and Adele Dilschneider out of that effort. Running a strong third at 17-1 next out in the GII Remsen S. here Dec. 1, the gelding was made a narrow 21-10 chalk in this spot and stumbled at the start before recovering to sit in the pocket behind sharp fractions of :23.56 and :47.39. Staying glued to the rail entering the stretch, he was in tight briefly, but ran to daylight at the furlong grounds and took over. Game pacesetter Not That Brady (Big Brown) wasn’t done yet, however, and Our Braintrust (Freud) put in his two cents three wide, but Tax had just enough to turn them back in that order in 1:50.52. Lifetime Record: 4-2-1-1, $198,800. O-R A Hill Stable, Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Hugh Lynch & Corms Racing Stable; B-Claiborne Farm & Adele B. Dilschneider (KY); T-Danny Gargan.
