OLDSMAR, Fla. - His name is Clarence Zehnder, most folks call him Pete, and while a lot of people around the track have led colorful lives, you would have to go some to top his life story.

Zehnder has been an author, a poet, and a bar owner, and right now he's Tampa's leading trainer.

"I've done a little bit of everything. from hustling pool to writing books," said Zehnder, 59, a native of Boone County, Ky., who first came to the racetrack at old Latonia, which is now Turfway Park. "I trained for 23 years, gave it up for 15, and now I'm back and having a ball."

Unsafe track conditions cut short the Dec. 14 racing card at Turfway Park, and forced the postponement of the $50,000 My Charmer Stakes. A little more than two weeks later, the My Charmer Stakes reappears Tuesday at the Florence, Ky., track.

Even on a fast track, she has a good opportunity to win Tuesday and end a 13-race losing streak that dates back to June 2001.
