The narrow 6-5 favorite ($4.60) swept to the lead
at the three-sixteenth pole and cruised under the

"When it was time to move, he was there for me,"
Franco said. "I had to pull him up to make him stop
(on the gallop-out)."
While trainer Linda Rice had originally planned
to target the Wood with the New York-bred Arctic
Arrogance, who was second last year in the Remsen
Stakes (G2), also at 1 1/8 miles at Aqueduct. Yet
after Saturday's loss, she said the March 4 Gotham
Stakes (G3) at one-turn mile would be next.
"Another nice race," she said about a colt with two
wins and four seconds in six starts and who picked
up eight Derby points to give him 16. "The horse that
won was better but I think it's possible this horse is
better at a one-turn mile, and rather than wait for
the Wood, we may run in the Gotham, because that
might be his best distance, and we'll take it from
there."
General Banker was third (six points, nine total),

Congratulations to the owners, @TeamEquistaff and

knew one thing was for sure when the gates opened—
speed was king Feb. 11 at Tampa Bay Downs. Four of
the day's preceding six dirt races had been captured
wire-to-wire.
And when the nine-horse charge was unleashed in
the Suncoast, champion 2-year-old filly Wonder Wheel
broke fast, but Camacho and Dreaming of Snow were
faster. Once establishing command, the diminutive
Dreaming of Snow never relinquished her lead, holding
off the comebacking Eclipse Award winner by a neck in 5:02 PM - Feb 11, 2023

Wheel came to her." First, both fillies were making their sophomore
debuts in the Suncoast. Julia Shining had
annexed the Dec. 3 Demoiselle Stakes (G2)
to cap her campaign but Wonder Wheel had
been unraced since her glowing Breeders'
Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) triumph Nov. 4. The
D.J. Stables' runner had recorded only four
workouts since her freshening, all coming
within the last month at Casse's private
training center in Ocala, Fla. Julia Shining,
meanwhile, had been breezing consistently for
Todd Pletcher at Palm Beach Downs Training
Center further south.
Dreaming of Snow had raced four times
over the sometimes quirky Tampa Bay Downs
surface and, being stabled at the Oldsmar, Fla.,
track, trained over the oval every morning.
The Tampa dirt has been the downfall of many
favorites over the years, and Wonder Wheel
and Julia Shining went down in defeat at their
most vulnerable against Team Equistaff and
Winning Stables' Dreaming of Snow.

sale is in Timonium, Md., and it's the only
breeze-up sale over dirt, which is obviously
key for racing in the UAE and Saudi—and
