Tackle This

Can you name the hottest 4yo in America right now? Switch na she's only won 2 of her last 4 starts. Twirling Candy, sorry but he lost pretty badly in the Goodwood. Actually the hottest 4yo in the country right could be Tackleberry. Yes he's not a G1 winner like Twirling Candy or Switch, but he has won 6 of his last 7 races defeating some good horses. Those horses include Mambo Miester in the Fred Hooper, First Dude and Duke of Mischief in the Sunshine Millions, and Soaring Empire in yesterday's Gulfstream Park Sprint.



Since his debut last July, the Montbrook gelding has won 7 times and finished 2nd twice in 11 starts emassing $577,225 in earnings. It will be interesting where he will end up next, which could be the Gulfstream Park Handicap where he could face Rule who finished 2nd in the Hal's Hope and 3rd in the Donn Handicap. However, no word on where he is heading next either.

However at 21, it looks like Montbrook is finally starting to hit his best stride not only with Tackleberry, but with Big Drama as well.

It could be a fun older division with these two possibly squaring off in the future.
