Where U B be in the winner’s circle again

It was easy to find where Where U B was hanging out after the fourth race at Delaware Park yesterday – he was prancing around in the winner’s circle.

The 3-year-old gelding by Ride On Curlin boosted his record to 2-2-0 in five starts with an ‘almost’ wire-to-wire performance, adding $9,000 to his earnings. Jaime Rodriguez, Delaware’s leading rider, put Where U B on the lead at the outset of the six-furlong race, briefly gave it up starting down the backstretch, then regained it for good passing the quarter in :22.90. The gelding went by the half in :45.91 and held on gamely down the lane, winning by half a length in 1:11.56.

The $5,000 OBS July 2-year-old, who had previously won at Parx and added seconds at Delaware and Pimlico, paid $9.40 and raised his bank account to $26,725.
