Joel Rosario guided Christophe Clement-trainee Proper Grammar [No. 5, $9.70] to victory in Race 8, a six-furlong inner turf sprint for maiden claimers.
Matty s Marauder [No. 3, $24.80] provided the biggest price in the sequence when finding the wire first in Race 6, a six-furlong maiden claiming sprint, for jockey Luis Saez and trainer David Donk.

Jose Ferrer
The calendar says jockey Jose Ferrer was a year older on Wednesday. Just don t tell that to his rival jockeys or the trainers and owners who continue to benefit from his skill and passion.
Ferrer rode three winners at Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Fla., on his 57th birthday, then performed 20 pushups in the winner s circle after weighing in following the ninth race, which he won on 3-year-old filly Princess Nina.
“Hell, no,” Ferrer replied when asked if he felt 57. “Didn t you see me doing 20 after the race?”
Undoubtedly, he will feel even younger in a couple of hours when he shares ice cream and cake with his wife Steffi and their sons, Derek and Joseph.

Magic Attitude heading toward the winner s circle after winning the Belmont Oaks Invitational under Javier Castellano
Early last year, Tampa Bay Downs trainer Arnaud Delacour received rave reviews about Magic Attitude, a regally-bred filly who at the time was preparing to make her first 3-year-old start in the Group 3 Prix Vanteaux at Longchamp in Paris.
The daughter of renowned sire Galileo, out of Group 1-winning Margot Did, did not disappoint, notching her first stakes score by 2 lengths. Soon after, owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson purchased Magic Attitude privately on Delacour s recommendation, with the intention of sending her to the conditioner s stable in the United States to compete under their Lael Stables banner.
