Yeehaw breezes to easy maiden score at Tampa

Yeehaw had turned in several good performances without a victory, including a second in his previous start, and it was obvious it was going to be just a matter of time before the sharp colt by Anthony’s Cross would break his maiden. That happened at Tampa Bay Downs yesterday as the 3-year-old colt overcame the sloppy track and romped to his first victory in a maiden special race at a mile and 40 yards. Yeehaw sat a good stalking trip behind the two leaders under Samy Camacho, and when the rider asked him to run on the turn, it became no contest. He drew off to score by 4 1/2 lengths, and as the official chart noted, Yeehaw was coasting at the wire. The $40,000 OBS August yearling collected $27,500, boosting his earnings to $64,940.
