Chapheart made it back-to-back wins in the $27,143 Winners Over Select Trot at Bally's Dover on Tuesday, March 11, utilizing an aggressive steer from driver Pat Berry to repeat.

Chapheart and Plumville Prince (Troy Beyer) left quickest away from the starting gate with Plumville Prince grabbing a short-lived lead. Chapheart settled in the pocket then rushed to the outside of the leader through a quarter of :27.3. Chapheart seized control before backing things down at the half in :58. Muscledover (Russell Foster) moved first-over from last and into third in the third quarter, while Chapheart had things his way to that station in 1:26 as the 2-5 favourite. As the outside tier began to wilt, Plumville Prince and Rivers (Corey Callahan) took full advantage, saving ground along the pylons. However, those bids would come up just shy as Chapheart won by a half-length in 1:55. He paid $2.80 for the win. Plumville Prince finished in the runner-up position, Rivers finished third.

Trained by Dylan Davis, Chapheart (Chapter Seven-Hip To My Heart) is owned by Michael Casalino Jr. of Freehold, New Jersey and Dylan Davis Racing from Harrington, Delaware. 

Tony Morgan and Tim Tetrick won three races each on the betting card to lead all drivers
