Handsoffmycookie had five foes to get past in the final quarter of Monday’s $18,000 Fillies & mares Open Handicap at Dover Downs, and she did just that en route to a 1:52.3 score for driver Trace Tetrick.
The Scott Di Domenico trainee sat sixth for the first three-quarters of the contest, leaving the front-end duties to race favourite For The Ladies N. That rival chopped out splits of :26.4, :55.3 and 1:23.4 before tiring. Handsoffmycookie swung wide in the late stages of the mile and used a :28-second closing panel to win by half a length over Mach A Wish. Fill My Pockets Up was a lapped-on third.
