Tam Tam Runs QEII Rivals Off Their Feet, Claims Second Elite-Level Victory

She went right to the front, and would not come back late in the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland, earning Tam Tam (Medaglia d'Oro) the honor of collecting her second elite-level victory Saturday afternoon. The daughter of the venerable Medaglia d'Oro was unveiled last August at Saratoga, and as the connections told the TDN 's Steve Sherack after the race, did everything right but win (she was run down in the lane by GISP Five Bars ( Maxfield ) and a late closer to finish third).
