In case you missed it . . . Edition Farm[2] homebred Takmeoutodabalgame broke his steeplechase maiden last Saturday at Charlotte by 54 lengths.

Pulled up in his first start over the fences on April 3rd, Takmeoutodabalgame (Take Me Out/Vivaling [Explodent]), who had a record of 7-10-4 from 31 starts on the flat track ($139,372), turned things around next time around, to say the least.

Five fences from the finish line the six-year-old gelding took command of the 2 ΒΌ mile race and extended his lead leaving the rest of the field in another race altogether. This was a non-wagering event.
