‘Vicky’ Jets To Victory In Top Trot
Victors Vicky stepped up to the $22,000 Filly and Mare Winners-Over trot and won for the third straight time while Joey The Jet JT was the best in the $18,000 sub-feature at Dover Downs Wednesday night.
Driver Corey Callahan came on strong in the stretch to score a 1:56 triumph in the week's top trot. The Valley Victor-Deaconess Hanover six-year-old mare trained by Richard Johnson was the lone female among seven starters. The win was her eighth in 20 starts this season. Owned by Fabulous Farms, Victors Vicky has now banked $114,850 this year. Go Nano Go (Eddie Davis Jr.) was second in front of Powerful Committee (Vince Copeland).
Post 8 was no deterrent for Joey The Jet JT as the Wesgate Crown - NV Becky gelding swept to a 1:56.3 win with Tony Morgan, a three-time winner, drove for Ken Wood and Bill Dittmar, who own the winner trained by Eric Ell. Vicki Gram (Art Stafford Jr.) was second. Go Sassy Go (George Dennis) took third money.
Two was a popular number for four winning drivers. Corey Callahan, Jim Morand, Ross Wolfenden and Jonathan Roberts had two trips to the winner's circle.
