At face value, TAOS (5) may not have much appeal, as he hasn’t done much running in the first three starts of his career. When you dig a bit deeper, there may be some appeal this afternoon at a very square price. A son of Tapit trying turf for the first time, Taos is a half-sibling to Lucullan (3 for 7 on turf, lifetime-best Beyer Speed Figure of 99) and Innovative Idea (2 for 4 on synthetic), so he may take to the downhill turf course nicely. The Richard Mandella trainee sports a bullet half-mile drill entering this event and gets Lasix for the first time, along with the removal of blinkers. At odds of 13-1 with 12 MTP, he's one you could consider making a small win wager on and certainly consider using underneath in exotics.
