Tomcito emerges on triple crown trail from Peru

Tomcito the Peruvian derby winner has been nominated to the American triple crown. This South American mystery horse is a interesting wrinkle on the derby trail. As a 2YO in Peru Tomcito won Group I races at 10 and 12 furlongs. The big question with Tomcito is class, but if if can answer those questions like Invasor and Candy Ride we may be in for a treat. He is currently working out at Palm Meadows and posted a 100 flat 5F work today. The Peruvian connections are pointing him to the Florida derby with an eye towards the Kentucky with a more certain start in the Belmont Stakes. More from Finley on Tomcito.
