… give him credit for one thing. Just now, in Dover’s 3rd, he had the trailing 9 post in the second tier. He elected to follow the “5” and got off to a fine start. Then of course, he overdrove his horse, and after leading to the 5/8, predictably quit. But while it certainly is legal, I can’t recall the last time a second tier horse followed a midpack starter. Just my two cents.

Happens quite a bit if youre gonna follow a sharp leaver off the gate.

You see sometimes, not often, as wide as three or four paths wide. Five wide or wider , I would call quite rare.
But Ceba is a rare 'talent'. ngc3

Voted Dovers driver of the month for March!

Trivia?
The Meadows
Early 1970's
Two year old stake
What Hambo winning driver from the back tier scored his future two time Horse Of The Year out behind the far outside horse? (8 or 9pp) I forget how many across they scored then.

The ones that are actually going forward, I don't believe he trains. Just down on paper.
I think that might be Bunk who trains.

No, Good guess,but Dickie may well of been in the front tier.

Stanley Dancer? Nevele Pride?

A very good guess!
Wrong on both counts.

The "5" horse was the 1/5 favorite--so it only makes sense he follows that one
also-you didn't mention he won the first race of the day
overall --he shouldn't be allowed on the track whatsoever due to his past

Harry Harvey-Albatross
Yes you are correct!
Harry Harvey trained and drove Albatross as a two year old.
Stanley Dancer as a three and four year old.
In 1953 Harvey won the second and third heats of The Hambo with the filly Helicopter.
They jumped it off in the first heat.
They won the second heat leaving fron PP 17 in a 23 horse field.
Now that was horse racing!

Believe me if he was white, he be barred! But they don't want to piss off the O0 and make no news!

No sense at all. That 1/5 will park you the entire race.

He followed the right horse as the 1/5 left, all he has to do was sit 2nd or 3rd for a major piece but he decided to over drive and used up his horse unnecessarily
-
Just because the five left was no guarantee for him. Obviously there are other drivers that want also to follow the favorite.
Only time I seeing this as a good idea is if 'YOU' are the favorite, much the best and just want to avoid the rail and trouble early.

If you're on the front with a 1/5 are you letting Ceba clear? The give and retake doesn't work with that imbecile
