    Tasso (foaled April 20, 1983, in Florida) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. Out of the mare Ecstacism, he was sired by Fappiano, a son of the very influential Champion sire Mr. Prospector.

    Trained by Neil Drysdale for owner Gerald Robins, Tasso raced seven times at age two in 1985, scoring five wins with one second and one third. Ridden by Laffit Pincay, Jr., he finished first in races that included the Breeders' Futurity Stakes at Keeneland Race Course in Kentucky and the Del Mar Futurity at Del Mar Racetrack in California. For the most important race of the year for his age group, Tasso's owner had to pay a supplemental fee of $120,000 to enter the colt in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, which was raced that year at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York. His owner was rewarded for his belief in the colt when Tasso defeated Storm Cat by a nose to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Tasso's performances earned him U.S. Champion 2-Yr-Old Colt honors for 1985.

    Racing at age three, Tasso again made seven starts, ending the season with two wins, two seconds, and two third-place finishes. He began his 3-year-old campaign with a three-length win in the Manassa Mauler Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack. However, he did not make it to the U.S. Triple Crown series, and his best performances came in the Gotham and Withers Stakes, in which he finished second. Sent out to race at age four, Tasso started nine times, winning twice and finishing in a dead heat for second behind winner Ferdinand in the Grade I Hollywood Gold Cup.

    Torquato Tasso (play)

    Torquato Tasso is a play by the German dramatist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the sixteenth-century Italian poet, Torquato Tasso. The play was first started in Weimar in 1780 but most of it was written during his two years in Italy, between 1786 and 1788. He completed the play in 1790.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    7 Days, 7 Weeks

    by: Deus

    Sister love, why don't you break it up?
    You got to let someone look into your heart
    Sister love, how do you keep it up?
    If you don't let no-one look into your heart
    As a kid, you couldn't live it up
    You were so serious but always so smart
    As a kid, you couldn't keep it up
    And we were never close, so much apart
    Here comes the sun smiling
    How long have you been blue?
    There'd ever be a time for us to recapture
    All the time we lose
    There was a time when you were being so proud
    Could have been anythin' that you aspired
    There was a time when you were never around
    When somethin' good happened, somethin' good happened right
    So sister love, I'll help you off the ground
    You got to let someone look into your heart
    You got to turn this situation around
    You got to turn this, turn it around
    Here comes the sun smiling
    How long have you been blue?
    There'd ever be a time for us to recapture
    All the time we lose
    'Cause it's plain to see
    A storm is not the weather
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    7 days you should be givin' yourself
    All your belongings, all that you treasure
    7 weeks you think of nobody else
    Is this what you want, is this what you are?
    How did it come this far?
    Here comes the sun smilin'
    The only thing that's true
    There'd ever be a time for us to recapture
    All the time we lose
    'Cause it's plain to see
    A storm is not the weather
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    And I'm telling you girl
    You'll look at them and smile
    And I'm telling you girl
