Passed Over, 2nd, Tampa 1/23
 

Passed Over -- saw this one run last year in a low-level claimer at Delaware. Came on very strong at the end on a wet track, thought the jock may have made a pre-mature move. So I put him on my stable mail. He moves down to Tampa, runs one over the sand and comes in 7th. Next time out, on 1/9, he wins a $6250 claimer -- pays $52.80. Kicking myself, I missed the boat. Entered 1/21 in a $16,000 claimer, was an alternate so I think he just didn't get in. Entered tomorrow, 2nd race, at the same level he won. Won't get 25-1 anymore, but is worth considering at his 5-1 ml, especially since it looks like the track'll be at least damp.

Shawdow...good luck with that bet. I have found I have very little luck with Delaware shippers. They tend to be very liberal in the use of "medications" in Del.

I'm sitting here with my fingers in my ears, humming "nah nah nah nah nah" just so I can't hear you. Besmirching my beloved Delaware...the nerve!

Besides, Passed Over did his best running at Tampa, not Del.

He'll be 5-2 or so today.

A horse that just won and is running back at the same level won't go off at 5-1(once again the M/L guy at Tampa is clueless). If the track is wet, he may go lower.

:D :D Not besmirching the joint at all, I used to bet DP all the time. I just have found many horses don't run quite as well after shipping out of there. Im sure it is just coincidence:rolleyes:

I hear ya'. I also fell in love with Tampa, the one time I've been there. Shirtsleeves in January -- that's the life (especially coming from the stoic Mid-Atlantic). And got to hand it to their marketing people, they do a great job.

I'm shocked....6-1. Hope you had him.

Shadow Roll.. With the score!!! Well done... Should change the nickname to "The BIG Eye"...

Tuned in to see the stretch run and said to myself... "Hey.. a DTer tabbed this horse in Selections today...!"

Nice job Shadow.

Luck. But the honor of Delaware is upheld.
