Kakaley Clicks For Six At Dover
There was no stopping Matt Kakaley on Thursday at Dover Downs, as the young reinsman made six trips to victory lane over the course of the 15-race program
Kakaley watched fellow sulky-sitter Victory Kirby sweep the Daily Double before finding the winner’s circle in Race 3 with Northern Ideal (1:55.3). He came right back to take Race 4 with Rockamabella (1:58), and proceeded to complete the hat trick with Out Of My Pocket (1:54.3) in Race 6.
Jabez (1:57.1) was a front-stepping winner for Kakaley in Race 7, and Yep (1:54.3) used the same approach en route to a winning effort in Race 8. The sixth and final winner for Kakaley came in Race 14 when Commando K (1:57) roared away to win by more than three lengths.
Recently inducted into the 2,000-win club, Kakaley pushed this year’s win total to 73 while his lifetime total climbed to 2,029.
