Joey The Jet JT got back into the winner's circle after winning the $27,000 Open/Handicap trot on Wednesday at Dover Downs while Tony Morgan drove Tuna Whip to one of his six victories taking the $18,000 sub-feature.
In the week's top trot, Ton Jackson shot Joey The Jet JT past race-favorite Sauce Two K (Corey Callahan) at the three-quarters to take the lead and then breezed to a 1:54.3 triumph.

His partner in Joey The Jet JT, a Wesgate Crown-NV Worthy gelding, is Bill Dittmar. The five-year-old won for the seventh time this year while being on the board in 20 of his 27 outings.

In the $18,000 sub-feature trot, PT Stables' Tuna Whip made good use of starting from Post 1 as Tony Morgan guided the Tagliabue-Harmonious Lady ridgling to his sixth win of the year in 1:55.4 upping his seasonal earning to $113,580. Dingys Party (Jim Morand) sped down the lane to finish second. Rose Run Flash (Mike Cole) was the show horse.
