Risky Rachel winning the 2014 Manatee Stakes<br />
Richest Purse: $ 65,000 2008<br />
Other Notes: The New York-bred 6-year-old mare Risky Rachel made the Manatee her sixth career stakes victory, following her earlier score in<br />
the Minaret. She eclipsed the stakes record set the previous year by Spectacular Sky. Risky Rachel is a daughter of Limehouse, which won the 2004<br />
Tampa Bay Derby. Spectacular Sky followed up her stakes-record Manatee triumph with a solid second in the Grade II Inside Information Stakes at<br />
Gulfstream. Daniel Centeno, a five-time leading jockey at Tampa Bay Downs, won four of the last six editions of the race. The 2012 winner, Taylors<br />
Irish, scored all six of her career victories at Tampa Bay Downs. Her jockey, Pedro Cotto, Jr., won on Marina Ballerina in 2008. Jockey Eduardo Nunez<br />
won this race twice with Show No Fear in 1994 and 1995. Show No Fear made 103 career starts, winning 13 races; her back-to-back Manatee triumphs<br />
were her only stakes scores. Jockeys Ricardo Lopez and Pedro Rodriguez won the Manatee twice.<br />
