The razor-sharp Theresademoninme is the one to beat in the $25,000 Open trot on Tuesday at Dover Downs. Post time is 4:30 p.m.
I Like My Boss is at the top of his game currently for trainer Bob Shahan who owns the former Delaware-sired champion with Jimmy and A.M. Parsons with regular driver Allan Davis. He has won four of his last six outings. Celebrity Pegasus set the 1:52 track record for an older trotter last Spring for owners Ken Wood, Bill M and Steve Iaquinta.
Hard-hitting Murmur Hanover is back after being scratched two weeks ago and will be driven by Vic Kirby. A pair of returnees from last season, Uva Hanover and Tony Morgan and Boffin with Ross Wolfenden in the bike should not be over-looked. Meanwhile NF Happenstance is back racing, after foaling a Sebastian K filly last spring, has been rounding into top shape for trainer-driver Jack Parker, Jr. Golden Sun handled by Corey Callahan drew the rail.
On the strong undercard, the $12,000 Winners-Over trot is highly competitive. Five Towns (Allan Davis) steps up in class following a sharp win last outing. Ultimate Shopper (Morgan) leaves from the rail with Bluebird Rambo (Stafford, Jr.) alongside. Hollywood Highway (Callahan) is racing for Scott Dillon and CTC Stable.
The is a lot of power on the outside posts; Jim Moore’s Royal Becca J (Parker, Jr.),Bill Moffett’s Gillie The Kid (Wolfenden) Common Parlance (Sean Bier) and Madinah Racing’s Marleys Guy (Kirby).
