RAGING BULL filly Tamarack gave her sire his fifth winner on Saturday with a debut victory at Canterbury Park.
Starting her career off going one mile on the turf, trainer Ty Garrett had his trainee primed to run with Tamarack stalking the leading Knick’s Honor throughout much of the race. She raced just about a length off that leader down the backstretch and around the turn before sliding through a hole in the stretch.
Showing her professionalism, the filly didn’t give up when bumped multiple times by the pacesetter and was rewarded with a victory by the stewards.
Tamarack races for her breeders Jason Hall, Stephen Baker, David Branch, and Bill Vanlandingham and had showed plenty of promise in her last two works.
She is out of the Mizzen Mast mare Button Girl, who is alsoready the dam of the stakes winning Valence among her three winners from six to race. Button Girl was a successful racemare with a stakes placing and is a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Coracle and to the granddam of Grade 2 winner Air Force Red.
This is also the family of Grade 1 winners Noballs, Cetewayo, and Dynaforce among others.
RAGING BULL’s five winners include the Grade 3 placed Prolectariat and stakes placed Jutland, putting him sixth among all first crop sires with his four turf winners second among all first crop sires on the surface.
