He never changed leads. I asked him a couple of times and he didn’t want to do it, so I let him alone because he kept running. It didn’t matter if he changed leads or not, he just kept going.”A 5-year-old full horse by Tapit, out of the Street Sense mare Aubby K, Magic On Tap, who was owned and bred in Kentucky by Summer Wind Equine, cut back in distance following a 23 3/4-length defeat in the Californian Stakes (G2) going a mile and 1/8 here on April 17 and paid $13.20, $6.00 and $3.00 while off at 5-1 in a field of five older horses.With his first stakes win in hand, Magic On Tap banked $120,000 for his efforts and improved his overall mark to 6-3-2-0 while boosting his earnings to $228,800. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzKEfSN8DP4 Trained by Peter Eurton and ridden by Umberto Rispoli, Shooters Shoot rallied from last to finish second at odds of 5/1 and paid $5.40 and $2.80 while finishing 1 3/4 lengths in front of Exaulted.The second choice at 2/1 with Abel Cedillo, Exaulted paid $2.20 and finished 2 3/4 lengths in front of 8/5 favorite Eight Rings.Fractions on the race were 22.10, 45.03 and 1:10.14.
