Three-year-olds take spotlight at Tampa Bay

Horseracing Betting Lines

02/03/2012 - Oldsmar, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tampa Bay Downs on Saturday gets solidly onto the Kentucky Derby trail with the running of the $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes. The 32nd edition of the 1 1/16-mile race has attracted a field of 11 three- year-olds and is the final local prep for the Tampa Bay Derby on March 10.

Heading the field as the 3-1 morning-line favorite is Reveron, winner of the Gulfstream Park Derby on New Year's Day. Owned by Stipa Racing Stable, Reveron will be ridden by Fernando Jara from post 10.

The colt is trained by Augustin Bezara and is working on a three race win streak with total earnings of $104,460.

Trainer Todd Pletcher will be seeking his third straight victory in the Davis with 7-2 second choice Ecabroni. Javier Castellano has the mount and the pair will break from post four. Four of the last six Davis renewals have been taken by three-year-olds trained by Pletcher.

Ecabroni will be making only his third career start on Saturday and is coming off his maiden win last month at Gulfstream Park.

The people who captured last year's Kentucky Derby have entered the 4-1 third pick in the field with State of Play. Owned by Team Valor International and trained by Graham Motion, State of Play will be making his first start on dirt with Alan Garcia riding from the inside post.

"He's a pretty stocky, big-boned horse who might look to be on the heavy side, but he is all muscle," assistant trainer Heather Craig said. "I think he looks a lot fitter than he did as a two-year-old. Tampa Bay Downs is not an easy track to handle, but he has been training great and has handled the dirt better than we could have imagined."

Last July the colt won in his initial start at Saratoga on grass and followed with a victory in the historic track's With Anticipation Stakes. In the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Churchill Downs he went off at 10-1, but finished 12th in the 14-horse field.

State of Play earned $120,000 in his three 2011 turf starts.

Here is the full field for the Davis in post position order: State of Play, Alan Garcia, 4-1; Holy Highway, Angel Serpa, 20-1; Battle Hardened, Julien Leparoux, 12-1; Ecabroni, Javier Castellano, 7-2; Moroccan Brew, Ricardo Feliciano, 30-1; Neck 'n Neck, Jose Lezcano, 5-1; Fox Rules, Huber Villa- Gomez, 30-1; Ravelo's Boy, Jeffrey Sanchez, 15-1; Burning Time, Leandro Goncalves, 12-1; Reveron, Fernando Jara, 3-1 and Prospective, Luis Contreras, 6-1.

The Sam F. Davis Stakes is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. (et).
