Tapitsfly returns

Tapitsfly, a Breeders' Cup winner who first emerged on the scene at Saratoga, will make her first start in over 14 months when she goes postward in an allowance/optional event on the Gulfstream turf Wednesday afternoon.

The gray daughter of Tapit, now 4, broke her maiden at fourth asking in August 2009 at the Spa. She followed up with a dominant victory in the P.G. Johnson Stakes here on the turf. After running second in the Miss Grillo Stakes at Belmont, she earned a hard-fought win in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. A series of minor injuries have kept her sidelined for over a year, however.

Julien Leparoux will be aboard Tapitsfly in Wednesday's race for trainer Dale Romance.

The filly's chief competition could be Miss World, winner of the Grade I Garden City in 2009 at Belmont. The 5-year-old is looking for her first win since.
