Cold weather could not deter Jen Bongiorno’s Gratian Hanover from scoring a 1:50.2 triumph Monday’s feature race at Dover Downs, and the frigid temperatures had no effect on Corey Callahan's ability to rein home winners.
With Tony Morgan in the bike, Gratian Hanover made the winner’s circle for the first time in 2017 scoring a convincing 1:50.2 conquest. The Willard Reynold-trained son of Western Ideal-Gray Major won for the 10th time in his career. Trading Up (Corey Callahan) finished second.
Callahan, the track’s defending champion, won four races in-a-row, the 2nd through 5th, then added a fifth in the 11th race driving Howard Taylor’s Emeritus Maximum to victory.
Enhance Your Mind puts a two-race win streak on the line facing Tyra, Velocity Lana and B Stern in Tuesday’s feature for distaffers.
