After a layoff of more than eight months, Tamarkuz returned in the 2016 Metropolitan Handicap where he finished ninth behind Frosted's track record-setting romp. He seemed to return to form when finishing second in both the Forego Stakes in late August at Saratoga and the Kelso Handicap in October at Belmont Park before tallying his biggest win to date in the 2016 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.
Tamarkuz is a son of leading sire Speightstown out of the Lemon Drop Kid mare Without You Babe. He was a $325,000 purchase as a yearling.
