CARPE Diem made his 2015 debut in style, taking the mile and half a furlong $350,000 Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby at Tampa last Saturday by five lengths to claim his third victory from four starts.

Runner-up in the 2014 Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile last time out, the three-year-old son of Giant’s Causeway tracked fourth behind pacesetter Divining Rod.
