Seventeenth time is the charm :)

King Palm is a maiden no more.

After losing his first 16 starts, including 11 second-place finishes, King Palm won a maiden race over 1 1/16 miles in Thursday's third race.

Owned by the Maloof brothers, who own the Palms Casino in Las Vegas and the Sacramento Kings of the NBA, and trained by Vladimir Cerin, King Palm finished a half-length in front of 5-1 Telepathic in the field of six older horses.

A 6-year-old, King Palm finished second in nine consecutive races from 2004 until last August. King Palm was second in his penultimate start on Feb. 19. He has earned $142,200.

We need more owners like these . I wish they could entice Cuban to get into the game. Chuck should try to make some contact with. I would think he would be a great owner to train for.

He won again tonight at Hollywood..... :)

THat was an extra gutty win there. What a run by him
