5th-Tampa Bay Downs, $25,000, Msw, 2-11, 3yo, f, 6f, 1:10.99, ft, head.
TITA MIMOSA (IRE) (f, 3, Uncle Mo–Needmore Flattery {MSW, $732,103}, by Flatter), the half-sister to Taiba (Gun Runner), MGISW, $1,956,200, broke as the 7-2 second choice in her afternoon bow and immediately charged to the front outside of Sweet Melady (Maclean's Music) to take a narrow advantage. Dueling up the backstretch with 24-1 shot Rosario's Prayer (Sky Kingdom), Tita Mimosa continued to fight that rival around the turn and into the lane. The pair took turns on the lead, bobbing heads down to the wire with Tita Mimosa getting the winning end of a photo finish as Rosario's Prayer just held on for second in front of a fast-closing Broken Hearts Bay (Super Saver). Needmore Flattery last produced a colt by Waldgeist (GB) in 2021 and has not been reported bred since. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $14,250. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
