Majorca N Wires Dover Distaffers; Tetrick Wins Five

Majorca N

Majorca N took no prisoners and won the $35,714 Mares Open Handicap Pace at Bally’s Dover on Wednesday night, Jan. 29.

Majorca N and Disturbed Hanover left together at the start of the race. Majorca N was breathing fire as Disturbed Hanover attempted to retake the lead but was rejected through a sizzling :27.1 opening panel. The cutthroat duel continued as Majorca N gave a parked Disturbed Hanover the cold shoulder. The two distaff mares stormed past the half in a punishing :54.4.

The front-end battle royale continued down the backstretch. Incaseyoudidntknow was towed into a second-over journey and then was forced to circle three-wide when Disturbed Hanover weakened before the three-quarter pole. Factory Girl watched the action from the pocket and awaited clearance late.

Majorca N, the 8-5 favourite, reached the three-quarters in 1:23.4 before drawing off from the field in the stretch to win by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:51.4. Factory Girl benefitted from a pocket trip and finished second while Incaseyoudidntknow finished third.

Majorca N, who paid $5.20 to win, is owned by Michael Casalino Jr. and Dylan Davis Racing. Corey Callahan drove the Art Major mare for trainer Dylan Davis.

Tim Tetrick scored five driving victories on the 15-race program.

The featured race on Thursday’s 15-race card at Dover is the $27,500 USD Blue Hen Open Handicap Pace, carded as the 12th race. Last week’s winner, Captaincountrystar, will look to make it three wins in a row. Post time is 4:30 p.m.
