Dirt the question for In My Time

In My Time will attempt to transfer her sharp turf form to dirt at Delta Downs on Thursday, when she chases after her third straight win in a $30,000 optional claimer for fillies and mares at a mile.

Trained by Tom Amoss, In My Time has won back-to-back allowances in Kentucky. She could go favored in an eight-horse field that also includes Clever Thirteen, runner-up in the Lookout at Delta, and Portales, a multiple stakes winner at Assiniboia Downs.

In My Time is coupled with Kiss to Remember, winner of the off-the-turf Pago Hop last Saturday at Fair Grounds, but Kiss to Remember will not run, according to Amoss.

First post for the New Year’s Day card will be an early 3:10 p.m. Central.
