Bio
Tarantino won his debut in a one-mile grass race at Del Mar on Sept. 7. He stalked the pace and drew away to win by a length. In his next race, the Zuma Beach Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 4, he finished second by a nose to Ebeko.
Following that race, Tarantino was transferred from trainer Bob Baffert to the Rodolphe Brisset barn. He made his first start for his new trainer a winning one, winning an allowance race on the grass at Gulfstream Park on Dec. 11 by 1 1/4 lengths. Edgard Zayas was in the saddle for the victory.
