A pair of impressive maiden winners on Aqueduct's inner track in January will look to jump up into stakes company next time out in hopes of finding themselves on the Derby trail.

The speedy Eightyfiveinafifty heads the list of nominations for the Feb. 6 Whirlaway Stakes at Aqueduct. The mile and a sixteenth race leads into the Grade III Gotham Stakes on March 6 before New York's major Derby prep, the Wood Memorial on April 3.

The son of Forest Camp blitzed his way to a 17 1/4 length maiden win on Jan. 9, stopping the clock in 1:10.85 for six furlongs while under wraps late. His ability to go a distance is in question - he hasn't been around two turns yet - but trainer Gary Contessa is attempting to address that issue in the mornings. On Wednesday, he sent Eightyfiveinafifty out for a seven furlong breeze around two turns; he covered the distance in 1:27 and galloped out the mile in 1:40.20.

Eightyfiveinafifty has made just two starts. He began his career at Saratoga last summer, where he was third in his debut behind eventual Hopeful winner Dublin.

Meanwhile, Tempted to Tapit, who broke his maiden on Jan. 18, arrived in Florida on Wednesday and is headed for the Grade III Sam Davis Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs on Feb. 13.

Trainer Steve Klesaris put blinkers on the gelding last time out and it worked, as the son of 2004 Wood Memorial winner Tapit reeled off brisk opening fractions before pulling away late to win the mile maiden event by 11 1/4.

Tempted to Tapit has the win and two seconds at Philadelphia Park in four starts. at Philadelphia in December, he finished second as Laus Deo broke his maiden; that colt went on to win the Count Fleet at Aqueduct in early January.
