The 22nd time is the Charm for Tampa Bay Downs Claimer

Horse Racing Claimer of the Week at AGameofSkill.comPrior to last Friday, Beijing House was 0-21 at Tampa Bay Downs. All of that changed when the 9 year old veteran slipped through along the rail to get the lead just inside the furlong pole and went on to win the fifth race by a nose. The gelding stopped the clock in 1:05.38 for the 5 ½ furlong event for $5,000 claimers. The son of Mutakddim returned $16.40 to his backers. Ridden by Vernon Bush and trained by Thomas McCooey, the victory was the 13th for Beijing House. He is owned by Richard Murray and has finished in the money 29 times from 67 career races and his lifetime earnings now exceed $209,000.
