Sam F. Davis stakes

Fierce Wind, a colt by Dixie Union , won the Sam F. Davis stakes on Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs. The charts for the Sam F. Davis read that Fierce Wind "just lasted" the 1 1/16m. Second was Big Truck, then Smooth Air.

And naturally, here's another Kentucky Derby contender for you to consider :)

Z Fortune has a near perfect record and has shown he can handle graded (G3) company, and a little distance. He's run up to 1 1/16m, and was 2nd to Pyro in the Risen Star Stakes (G3).

Z Fortune is sired by Siphon, a Brazilian-bred horse who was brilliant on the track, winning $3.2 million dollars. Siphon showed versatility, winning both sprints and routes, which gives Z Fortune a distance edge. Z Fortune's dam, Fortunate Prospect, was a stakes winner of $251,635 and has sired 6 winners of 7 foals to race.
