Longshot Tyee Wins Charles
Taylor Derby
Albuq. NM - August 15, 2010 - Oscar Ceballos rode longshot Tyee to a half-length
victory in Sunday’s $30,000 Charles Taylor Derby for 3-year-olds at The Downs at
Albuquerque.
Owned and trained by Patrick Foss, Tyee covered one mile in 1:39.03 while
posting his third win in eight starts. Tyee was sent to post at odds of 16-1 and
returned a $34.20 win mutuel.
Tyee was bred in Kentucky by Dr. and Mrs. Kerry and Linda Osment, and the bay
gelding is one of 219 winners from 361 starters sired by the Unbridled Song
stallion Buddha, an 11-year-old stallion who won the 2002 Wood Memorial Stakes
(G1) at Aqueduct. A Kentucky-bred who currently stands in Argentina, Buddha has
sired the earners of more than $7.7 million from five crops, including
three-time Louisiana-bred stakes winner Hisse.
Tyee has won three of eight races, and the $18,000 winner’s share of the Charles
Taylor Derby purse increased his earnings to $39,505. The gelding was claimed by
Foss at Oaklawn Park for $15,000 back in February. He has won two of his four
outs and has banked $30,460 since the claim.
One’s Own Accord ran second and was followed by Miller’s Time, Develish Jack,
6-5 favorite Haitian Hero, and McKenna’s Justice.
