Dover, DE---Overlooked Egosnattitudes won the $100,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) 2-year-old final on Tuesday (Nov. 25) at Dover Downs. 


Egosnattitudes raced outside uncovered for nearly three-quarters-of-a-mile and still had plenty in the stretch to record a 1:59.3 victory in the state-sired freshman championship. Jonathan Roberts pulled the homebred son of Great George Two-Aerobic Linda out of fifth in front of the grandstand and methodically moved up on the outside to finally reach trot-setter Political Foe, the odds-on favorite teamed with Eddie Dennis, entering the final turn and then hustled past straightening out at the top of the lane. Political Foe fought to the wire finishing second with Perfect Vangogh and Tony Morgan the show horse. Circle M RJ (George Dennis) and Political Cash (Allan Davis) collected the fourth and fifth payoff spots.


“This is the first time that [Egosnattitudes] ever put it all together,” said Roberts in the winner’s circle. “Last month he set a track record at Harrington (in a DSBF prelim) but he came up with some issues after that, so this is a pleasant surprise.”


Bib Roberts trains and co-owns Egosnattitudes with M&W Stables and breeder Graham Grace Stables. The gelding won for the third time in seven starts and ups his seasonal earnings to $73,400.


Win Power and trainer-driver Jeff Fout got up in the final stride to win the $20,000 DSBF consolation in 2:05.  Vangoghpaintsinred (Vince Copeland) had led from the start and had to settle for second. Wynnfield Comet (Kim Vincent) was third.


The DSBF male pace $100,000 final is set for Sunday, Dec. 7.


Corey Callahan, Brett Brittingham and Allan Davis had driving doubles.


The top card of the week is scheduled for Wednesday headed by the 25,000 Delaware Special and the $18,000 top trot.


Live racing continues Wednesday with a 4:30 p.m. post. There is no racing this Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, and as usual no live racing Friday and Saturday. Sunday racing resumes at 5:30 p.m.
