And I Know is 13th winner for Handsome Mike

Handsome Mike picked up lucky winner No. 13 yesterday when And I Know broke her maiden at Tampa Bay Downs despite not getting any kind of breather for the entire mile and 40-yard trip.

The 4-year-old filly broke well under Jose Garcia, took the lead along the rail down the backstretch with two rivals pressing her on the outside, fought off a slew of closers as they turned for home and proved much the best down the lane. She won by nearly three lengths and paid $3.40, collecting a check for $7,135 and a breeders’ award for Adolfo and Felicia Exposito.
