Dennis/Columbo/Cole
« on: March 26, 2026, 09:04:24 PM »
Dennis must own a bunch of horses.  Owner, trainer, driver combo entered in just about every race at Dover.  George and Tina have dominated Delaware in the past, but this is ridiculous.  Plus, with Cole back from La La land, the combo is sucking up a big percentage of the purse pool.

Not nearly the stock that George has had. A lot are getting older and tired. A lot of overhead as well as help has to be milking the cow 🐄.  Batting under .190 with all the horses he feeds is not going to cut it. Dosen't play the claiming game and depends on private sales and homebreds. Most all he owns. Seems the recipe has changed or stopped.

Class guy who owns a lot of horses and, as you said, does not play the claiming game. Having a down year based on the past, but there will be new young ones to replenish. Can drive well, too. I believe his wife developed a horse and pet "wash"  or "cream" that is very popular and sold around the country.

George does very little driving anymore. He had been using Ross Wolfenden on alot of his horses but since Mike Cole is allowed back in Delaware, he drives all his horses. His stable is definitely losing money because most of his horses are older, cheap and don't earn their keep.

Barn definitely needs a turnover.  Some have been there a lot of years.
