Sept/ 26 (UPI) -- Another weekend, another wrinkle in the ever-evolving chase for the 3-year-old championship as Taiba romped home first over some talented rivals in the $1 million Grade I Pennsylvania Derby.
The Santa Anita Derby winner won the Parx Racing feature by 3 lengths under "Big Money" Mike Smith, leaving in his wake five other Kentucky Derby runners and the third- and fourth-place finishers from the Belmont Stakes.
That race was the highlight of a weekend that also saw some of Europe's top 2-year-old prospects on display in races that included two Group 1 events, two Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" races and the first two legs of the "European Road to the Kentucky Derby".
