Just A Jolt picked right up where he left off on closing day last season winning Monday’s $30,000 opening day $20,000 Open pace overtaking front-pacing Dancin Yankee in deep stretch for a 1:51.1 victory at Dover Downs.

Tim Tetrick and Just A Jolt sat second behind the Jim King trainee from the start and had just enough to rush by Dancin Yankee and Eric Goodell in the final strides. Special T Rocks was placed third. It was the eighth victory of the year for the pacer who increased his seasonal earnings to $136,180 for owner Janet Hudson.

The win was the second for owner Hudson, who also made the winner’s circle with Little Ben after a 1:52 score in a $14,000 Winners-Over male pace, and the third winner for driver Tetrick and trainer King.

Eric Goodell piloted a double winning the $18,000 sub-feature behind the Bobby Wyatt-conditioned Remember Me VK in 1:50.2 for Sharon Wyatt, Robin West and Ron Benton. Major Uptrend led until deep stretch and finished second. Bad Boy Matt was third for Allan Davis. Next, Goodell steered Summer Camp home for trainer Josh Green and owner L&J Racing in 1:52.2 to win a $12,500 Male pace
