Other Notes: The New York-bred 6-year-old mare Risky Rachel made the Manatee her sixth career stakes victory, following her earlier score in the Minaret. She eclipsed the stakes record set the previous year by Spectacular Sky. Risky Rachel is a daughter of Limehouse, which won the 2004 Tampa Bay Derby. Spectacular Sky followed up her stakes-record Manatee triumph with a solid second in the Grade II Inside Information Stakes at Gulfstream. Daniel Centeno, a five-time leading jockey at Tampa Bay Downs, won four of the last six editions of the race. The 2012 winner, Taylors Irish, scored all six of her career victories at Tampa Bay Downs. Her jockey, Pedro Cotto, Jr., won on Marina Ballerina in 2008. Jockey Eduardo Nunez won this race twice with Show No Fear in 1994 and 1995. Show No Fear made 103 career starts, winning 13 races; her back-to-back Manatee triumphs were her only stakes scores. Jockeys Ricardo Lopez and Pedro Rodriguez won the Manatee twice.
