Tough Mac, who stopped nearing the wire to finish third last week, did not stop this time when Corey Callahan drove the veteran to a 1:52.4 victory in the $20,000 Open Handicap Trot on Wednesday, Jan. 18 at Dover Downs.
Unlike last week when he had trouble getting to the front, Dylan Davis trainee Tough Mac took over early and sped to a powerful finish winning the feature. Il Mago (Pat Berry) set second most of the way for the place position while longshot Winbak Charles M (Yannick Gingras) took third. Mike Casalino owns the Lockkeeper-Traditional Lady black gelding, who won for the 25th time in his career. He now is a winner of $333,692.
Callahan won four races while Montrell Teague and Tony Morgan had doubles.
A $30,000 Preferred Pace headed by Secret Seven, Little Ben and Ideal Cowboy heads the giant Thursday program at Dover. Post time is 4:30 p.m.
