Pete and David is the longshot claim by Trainer Bruce Levine that we've been following since he was scooped up for $20k out of this race in June, a contest in which Pete in David went to post at Final Odds of 13.70 and finished seventh.
Saturday, Pete and David made his second start for the Levine barn, running with the same $20k price tag on his head for which he was purchased, albeit this time in a race restricted to New York breds.
Quoting from the Equibase chart of the race, Pete and David (Final Odds 6.90) "broke in at the start, then was sent hard". But despite being sent hard, Pete and David couldn't make the lead, and eventually faded in the stretch, finishing fifth, eight lengths behind the winner, G W's Hammer (4.80).
Pete and David's fifth place finish was worth $1,110.00 in purse money; bringing his total purse winnings for the Levine barn to $1,310.00. So Pete and David still has a ways to go before he earns back the twenty grand for which he was bought.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
