I'll stick to Tampa again.

Charles Davis is 0 for the last few years.

Janet Del Castillo is running an 8yr old today that is 1 for 74. She also had a nice turf horse a few years ago, Shrimp Tempura, that won a few races despite her training. Could have been a nice one in someone elses hands.

Naseem Rauf for sure.....but if you want a second choice Neil Pessin

Dale Baird.

John Candlin. Many of his horses are entered in State-bred maiden claimers and never leave that condition. Can go months without a win

Steve Knapp........0 for 60 with anybody who's name isn't BETTERSWEETMOMENT.Most of them back up like they have been shot in the neck(like Traffic Update did yesterday.) He says he likes to claim horses that win a lot.Some of them are indeed Knapp-proof,and can keep winning,but not very many.Most can't even win if he drops them down to a 3rd of what he claimed them for.For instance,he claimed Traffic Update for 32k.The horse won the race he claimed him out of,and the horse won about 3 weeks earlier too.He has tried to win with him at 50k claiming,16k,12.5k,and yesterday he ran 2nd to last in a 10k claimer.Done f'd him up,and scorched a client's 32k.I hope Cerin doesn't bring back Antifreezette for a 12,500 claiming tag. I am always worried this guy is gunna take her,and ruin her too.

He does have one of the best names for a horse though...Shoot the Wad

It has to be Nauseem Rauf.

Not sure of the spelling. Last I knew he hadn't won a race in like 10 years.
