At Some Point

… Tackleberry will surely catch the attention of bettors. Eight for 12 in his career, three for four in graded stakes at Gulfstream this year, the 4-year-old Florida-bred deserves serious consideration as a contender in the older male division after winning the Gulfstream Park Handicap. A winner sprinting and routing, and a rarity for racing drug-free, the highweight Tackleberry was sent off as the fourth-choice on Saturday. He was given a Beyer speed figure of 103 for his neck win, and he’ll point to the Charles Town Classic for his next start.
