Immortal Quest N scored a wire-to-wire 1:51.4 victory in the $32,500 Delaware Special, while Print It closed with a rush in the 26,000 Open and Wynnfield Flash came from far back to win a $23,000 Winners-Over in tri-feature paces at Dover Downs on Monday.
One of the best pacers last meet, Immortal Quest N, returned to top form, besting seven foes in an Eddie Davis Jr. driven never-look-back victory in the week's top race. The win was the 10th this season for the Sands A Flyin – Reign In New York gelding owned by Carter Racing Stable and trainer Bobby Myers. The win boosted his 2008 earnings to $207,396. Winbak Speed (Brandon Givens), last week's winner, came home quickly to take second. Thin Blue Line (Ron Pierce) was third.
Print It, the first of two winners for owner Tom Kelly, former Minnesota Twins World Series winning manager, closed with mercury-like speed in a :27.4 final panel to beat Beau Rivage N (Ross Wolfenden) to the wire in 1:52.1. The win was the second straight for the eight-time winner this season. Eric Goodell drove The Panderosa – Framed Print gelding, now a $29,960 winner this year. I Aint No Fool (Tim Tetrick) was a close up third.
Larry Baron's Wynnfield Flash looked out of it as the nine-horse $23,000 Winners-Over field turned for home. Ron Pierce shook the Spirited Style – Lindwood Hanna gelding in the lane, and the four-year-old swept past them all nearing the wire for a 1:52.2 triumph. Thats Justice (Mark Lancaster) was right behind in the photo, with Next Flight (Jim Morand), a fast finishing third.
Trainer Josh Green enjoyed a four-win night on the program.
