Tiago off his feed and out of Big Cap
By Steve Andersen
ARCADIA, Calif. - Tiago, third in the Breeders' Cup Classic last October, will not start in Saturday's $1 million Santa Anita Handicap after a recent loss of appetite, according to Dottie Ingordo, racing manager for owners Jerry and Ann Moss.
Tiago was not entered for the Big Cap when entries were taken on Wednesday. A four-time stakes winner, Tiago was seen as a leading contender for the Grade 1 Big Cap.
"He backed off his feed a little," Ingordo said. "It's too bad because he was doing so well. He was training superbly."
Trained by John Shirreffs, Ingordo's husband, the 5-year-old Tiago has won 5 of 18 starts and $2,358,270.
Ingordo said that Tiago could be considered for the $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap at Oaklawn Park on April 4. Tiago won the Oaklawn Handicap in 2008.
"It's an option," she said. "It was good to us last year."

Originally Tiago was my play, as I figured with this spectacular field I may actually get a respectable price on him. Due to his scratch I'm stuck between Einstein (had no chance from his post last time at GP), Blue Exit (looked like a whole new horse in last), and Nownownow (very impressive two back, very wide last start, good price).
