When did she win at 10 furlongs? Going into the Derby I was wondering why Mott hadn't run her at 10 furlongs (Alabama).
Tacitus is from the same female family as Belmont winners Rags to Riches, Jazil(and Close Hatches has two strains of Best in Show, third dam of those 2) -- and Birdstone. Close Hatches also has Belmont winner Empire Maker's dam (Toussaud) and, through Tapit, 2009 Belmont winner Summer Bird's third dam, Ruby Slippers.
Does anyone know why Mott skipped the Alabama with Close Hatches?
