A quartet of stakes worth a combined $550,000 served as the highlights of an action-packed Saturday card at Gulfstream Park.

Tapit Trice was bet down to 1-2 favoritism in Saturday’s Tampa Bay Derby (G2), a fans’ vote of confidence that the highly-regarded blueblood would punch his ticket to the Kentucky Derby (G1).

Pedigree suggested that Litigate would thrive over a route of ground, and the son of Blame duly obliged in his stakes and two-turn debut in Saturday’s Sam F. Davis (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs.

The disqualification of pacesetter Legacy Isle promoted Dreaming of Kona to an upset victory in the Mucho Macho Man S. at Gulfstream Park.
