He also spent three weeks in Florida during which time he rode Queen’s Plate hopeful, Get Down, at Tampa Bay Downs on February 26 in the $100,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes for trainer Nancy Triola. Get Down finished out of the money in the race with Slade saying that he thinks he didn’t like the track surface.
