The 44-year-old native of Arkansas shoots for his second straight success in the 1 1/16-miles President’s Day feature with the lightly raced Whitmore (Pleasantly Perfect), a visually impressive winner of two of his three career trips to the post. “It’s no secret that you always want to show out at home,” Moquett commented. “I may look across the grandstand on any given day and see someone that I went to highschool with. And when I say I live near Oaklawn Park, I mean, I can look out my kitchen window and watch the tractors.” Moquett added with a laugh, “When the horses go by in a race, it’s like a scene from Jurassic Park where you can see the ripples on a glass of water.” The former employee of conditioner Bernie Flint, on his own since 1997, will have more on the line than the standard 10% training commission in the Southwest.

FEATURE PRESENTATION • GIII SOUTHWEST S.

‘More’ to Come From Moquett cont. from p1 Robert LaPenta and Harry Rosenblum, also co-owners of last term’s Southwest hero Far Right (Notional), bought into the chestnut after he zig-zagged his way home by 7 1/4 lengths in his Churchill debut Nov. 6 (video). The first foal from the unraced Scat Daddy mare Melody’s Spirit was acquired privately by Southern Springs from breeder John Liviakis. “It’s a way for me to get people invested in our sport and be able to teach them without having them get overwhelmed in their first time or two in the business,” Moquett explained of his partnerships. “It’s kind of like training wheels for owners. You get to see a bill and go through the process and get to experience what it’s like to own a racehorse.” He continued, “I’ve had Whitmore | Coady everybody from people that were burned out of the game and were wanting to just be associated with it a little bit to people who later moved on and ended up owning 12 horses of their own. I do have some friends and family involved and that kind of stuff, but the group was created with the idea to introduce or re-involve people in our awesome sport. We’ve been very fortunate so far.” In addition to his pair of aforementioned tallies going six furlongs, the Kentucky-bred Whitmore also finished a disappointing fifth while making his two-turn bow in the GIII Delta Downs Jackpot S. Nov. 21. A muddy track and/or quick turnaround seem like valid excuses for that no-show at 7-1, right? “Trainer error--that’s what it was,” Moquett replied. “I always give the horse credit and I try to deflect the blame. If I had prepared the horse properly, then he’d be ready for an off track, two turns, etc. His job is to do what he’s prepared to do, and obviously he wasn’t prepared.” He continued, “All the indications are that he’ll relish the stretch out [in distance]. It’s all about getting him to do what the rider wants. He’s strong minded, but super athletic, too. Hopefully, they get along and get a nice trip.” Cont. p4 HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 9 • THETDN.COM THURSDAY • FEB. 11, 2016

Saturday Spotlight on Tampa Bay cont. Nevertheless, Flynn said she is confident that Tampa offers sufficient “mystique” with a wide variety of horsemen from across the country, creating highly competitive and diverse wagering opportunities. “Tampa is very well-received around the country,” she said. “Obviously, having turf racing in the winter is a plus, and if the sun is shining here and you’ve got six feet of snow to shovel out from, it makes [Tampa] appealing. With the field sizes, we try to make a wagering menu that is competitive and interesting. People do follow us and look forward to when we open.” If Tampa is able to maintain a steady stream of interest on an everyday basis, days like Saturday hammer home the track’s status as a major player on the winter racing docket. As such, there is no reason to believe that the small-scale operation on the Gulf Coast won’t continue to thrive as a destination for both horsemen and horseplayers. “It’s a combined effort from everybody, whether it be the person at the front gate, the person who is taking the $2 wager or the racing office,” Flynn concluded. “Everyone together works to make it a go. We try to do that. We’re a relatively small operation, but we all work multiple jobs and wear multiple hats to make it all work. Everyone is very proud of having these big days because it shows off what we have put into it.” ---@BMassamTDN
