9th-Tampa Bay Downs, $26,000, Msw, 2-11, 3yo, 1 1/16mT, 1:44.03, fm, 2 1/2 lengths. MERCI (c, 3, Noble Mission {GB}–Almina, by Macho Uno) was fairly lightly regarded at 15-2 on debut and settled midpack after breaking fairly from a low gate. Quietly ridden through the middle stages, the May foal advanced on the turn, came out four wide for the drive, struck to the lead a furlong from home and galloped clear. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $15,080. O/B-Ghislaine Head (KY); T-Christophe Clement.
