Corey Callahan became the first driver to win six races this meet on Saturday, Dec. 10 at Dover Downs
, but could not win the $15,000 3,4&5-Year-Old feature pace because he did not have a drive in that race.
A 19-1 shot, Sometimes Regrets, was the winner of the feature race with Ross Wolfenden in the sulky. For the second straight week Sometimes Regrets, owned by Ryan Gray and Scott Collier, was overlooked by the bettors. After winning at 25-1 last time out with trainer Mark Gray also driving, the four-year-old Spirited Style-Pelikn gelding left from Post 2 with Wolfenden, the No. 2 driver in the standings, piloting a 1:54.4 victory. Intrepid Hall (Daryl Bier) was a close second. Forty Four Magnum (Vic Kirby) shot up into third.
Callahan’s sixth win came after driving Art Brewer’s Urbino Hanover ($5) to a 1:54.3 triumph after a head-to-head battle with Battleship Kelly (Ross Wolfenden) from mid-backstretch to deep stretch before prevailing by a length over A Badlands Special (Brad Hanners), who nipped Battleship Kelly in the last stride.
He also won with Dylan Davis trainees Matts Jack ($2.80) and Kaiapoi Lil N ($5.20), Booze Cruiser ($5.60) for conditioner Josh Green, the Michael Horsey-trained It Was An Honor ($8.20), and Sound The Belle ($6.80) for trainer Nick Callahan.
Callahan’s six winning drives increases his lead over runner-up Wolfenden to 12, 68 to 58. Trainer Dylan Davis haltered two winners.
