Bisono and High Vibes form a winning team

John Bisono was able to accomplish at Tampa Bay Downs what jockey Mychel Sanchez wasn’t able to at Monmouth Park and Feargal Lynch wasn’t able to at Laurel.

After three unsuccessful attempts as a 2-year-old, followed by a layoff of nearly four months, High Vibes returned at Tampa yesterday and Bisono showed that the 3-year-old Maryland-bred daughter of Neolithic is capable of bigger and better things. Racing 1 1/16 miles over Tampa’s superior turf course, High Vibes sat well off the early pace, moved up to sixth coming to the final turn, circled the field into the stretch and inhaled the final two pacesetters with a slick move to the inside by her veteran rider in the last sixteenth of a mile.

High Vibes, a $45,000 OBS June 2-year-old bred by Maria M. and Mary Haire, won by three-quarters of a length and her maiden-breaker was worth $8,850. She completed the course in 1:44.84 and paid $39.40, while becoming Neolithic’s third winner of the new year.
