Feeling Sweet was feeling good and won the Mares Winners Over/Select Pace at Bally’s Dover on Wednesday night (Jan. 18).

Shes Pukka N left with her usual quickness off the gate. Feeling Sweet also left for early race positioning. Feeling Sweet settled, then rushed to the top passing the quarter in :27. Beyond Words N could not find a seat and was parked for most of the mile.

Driver Mike Cole was able to throttle the speed of Feeling Sweet to the half in :55 and held an uncontested lead to the three-quarters in 1:23.2.

The even-odds betting favourite, Shanghai Seelster, shadowed Beyond Words N. Shanghai Seelester inherited the first-over spot when Beyond Words N dipped down to the pylons pacing up the backstretch.

In the stretch, Feeling Sweet remained confident and won by a length, pacing the mile in 1:52.2. Shanghai Seelster finished second and Shes Pukka N took third.

Feeling Sweet is owned by George and Tina Dennis Racing of Wyoming, Del. Joe Columbo trains the $15.60 winner.

Allan Davis and Corey Callahan drove three winners each on the betting card.
