Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby

Other Notes Continued: In 2010, Super Saver became the second Tampa Bay Derby graduate to win the Kentucky Derby, for owner WinStar Farm and trainer Pletcher, after finishing third in the Tampa Bay Derby. In 2002, the Tampa Bay Derby attained Grade III status. It was elevated to Grade II for the 2011 edition, then changed back to Grade III for 2023. Owner Eric Fein won the race twice: in 2008 with Big Truck and in 2009 with Musket Man (also owned by Vic Carlson), who finished third in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Cefis, trained by Hall of Fame legend Woody Stephens, staged a whirlwind rally from last place to win the 1988 renewal under Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Maple.
