—Feb 10— Quip, winner of the Mucho Macho Man Stakes at Gulfstream Park in March, returned to the track at Tampa Bay Downs and unleashed a furious late rally to catch Captivating Moon and win the $200,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes by a length.
Ridden by Florent Geroux, Quip bided his time early, sitting just off the pace set by Flameaway and jockey Jose Lezcano. After going a half, Flameaway began to drop back, and Captivating Moon and Vino Rosso emerged from the pack to be one-two entering the stretch, with Quip further back alongside Catholic Boy and Flameaway.
Quip and Geroux were sensational in the latter stages, driving hard to the wire in a thrilling finish.
Captivating Moon, a 9/1 outside, hung on to be second, followed by Vino Rosso, Flameaway, Catholic Boy and Funny Duck.
