CELTIC MERCHANT TAKES “OVER THE HILL GANG” TROT AT POMPANO

Pompano Beach, FL…February 16, 2016…The popular “Over The Hill Gang” series continued on Tuesday night at Pompano Park featuring a field of seven with combined career earnings of over $2.3 million and, in a photo, it was the senior citizen of the group, 13 year-old Celtic Merchant, handled by the senior citizen of this group of drivers, Rick Plano, a winner in 1:56.4.

Trained by owner Steve Oldford, Celtic Merchant left alertly from the five post and settled in the garden spot as Illusionsndreams, with Andy Santeramo in the bike, clicked off panels of :27, :57 and 1:26.2 before grudgingly giving way to Celtic Merchant in the final few strides.

The official margin was a head with Savthelasdancforme and Steve Condren teaming up for show honors. Flashy Lady finished fourth while On The Tab picked up the nickel.

Celtic Merchant won for the third time this semester in six starts and pushed his 2016 earnings to $11,792. Lifetime, Celtic Merchant has 45 wins career-wise, good for $354,616 to go along with his mark of 1:54.4 as a 10 year-old.

Off as the 3 to 2 favorite, Celtic Merchant paid $5.00 to his many investors.

Racing continues at Pompano Park on Wednesday night with the first of 10 races scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

Pompano Park – Tuesday, February 16, 2016

RACE ONE DAILY DOUBLE- 1-4 PICK-5- 1 w 4 w 4,6,7 w 1,4,10 w 1,5,6,7 1-JESSE’S PROMISE…seems to be able to go first up and grind until she gets the job done. Same scenario here. 6-SAILER EDDIE…dips down from top class. Probably on the engine as he almost won 2 starts back that way. 3-GOLDSTAR CLASSIC…current form is sharp and is always in the thick of the fray. Versatile and consistent.

RACE TWO 4-SKYWAY PIPPEN…has excellent brushing power. Just needs to use that sprint when it counts to score here. 9-IMPRESSIVE CHIEF…outside post, yes, but on occasion, has shown very sharp closing kick. Cover flow trip. 3-WING FLASH…steps up after wiring field in amateur event. Compares well with the rest of the competition.

RACE THREE 4-REAL TEMPTATION…used leaving then got breather before 2nd backside sprint. Nailed by pocket-sitter. 7-Y S JOE…showed very sharp pace on backside (:27.4) despite being bothered a bit. Catching cover last lap. 6-TWIN B TK…can blast of the wings. Looks like that same scenario here by leaving and yielding for trip.

RACE FOUR PENTAFECTA- (Box) 1,2,4,7,10 1-PILGRIMS ALL IN…get great trip in last,...
