Tactical Bid sparkles at gallops

TACTICAL BID showed she was rounding into her best form for the Imported Three-year-old Sprint Stakes over 1350 metres on March 29 at Santa Rosa Park, Arima. The American-bred daughter of Tactical Advantage/Bidadistraction flashed over 600 metres in 37.8 seconds, and looked in fine fettle for the $50,000 event.

Russell Ramsammy’s filly was a comfortable winner over a similar trip in a Starter Allowance event, with Red Hill a winner on Saturday, Man Of Class, Outswinger and Local Charmer among those trailing her. But Patti’s No Angel stepped lively over the same distance in 35.9 seconds, the same time credited Paula’s First in a recent gallop. Others having good gallops were Millenium Reign who paced 600 metres  in 43.1 seconds, while Infallibility, looking to make a return to racing after a long layoff, went over 800 metres in 53.7 seconds.
