Bio
Tacitus finished fourth in his career debut on Oct. 4, 2018, at Belmont Park. He rallied from off the pace to win his second race by a neck on Nov. 10 at Aqueduct.
Tacitus finished fourth in his career debut on Oct. 4, 2018, at Belmont Park. He rallied from off the pace to win his second race by a neck on Nov. 10 at Aqueduct.
The gray or roan Tapit colt made his 3-year-old bow in the Grade 2 Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby on March 9 at Tampa Bay Downs, and Tacitus again charged from off the pace to seize command from the inside in deep stretch on his way to victory. The win earned the Juddmonte Farms homebred 50 qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on May 4, all-but guaranteeing him a spot in the first jewel of the Triple Crown.
Tacitus is the first foal and first starter produced by five-time Grade 1 winner Close Hatches, by First Defence.
