Bio
Tusk needed four starts to earn his first career victory, winning a one-mile turf race by a nose at Del Mar in November 2015. He subsequently was unplaced in the Grade 3 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes in the final start of his 2-year-old season.
After beginning his 3-year-old season with a third-place finish in allowance company at Santa Anita in January 2016, Tusk finished second in the Grade 3 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields, but he did not race again until December when unplaced in the Grade 2 Mathis Brother Mile Stakes at Santa Anita.

Tusk competed mostly in allowance and claiming races in 28 starts over the next three years, winning six times and finishing third in the Claiming Crown Emerald Stakes in his final start in 2019. Tusk finally earned a breakthrough stakes win when he rallied from just off the pace to win the Grade 3 Tropical Park Derby by two lengths.
