Ontario-sired Allmar Surprise, the only female and the youngest in the field, led all the way for a 1:57 victory in the $33,000 Open Trot over a "sloppy track" at Dover Downs on Wednesday
Following two up-close seconds, Allmar Surprise got back on the winning track disposing of eight rivals in the week's top trot. With Vic Kirby at the controls, the Angus Hall-Benita Victory four-year-old mare took the lead at the start and set all the fractions waltzing to her fourth win in six starts for Kirby and partner Matt Ivory of Harrington, Delaware and now has banked $52,250. Maxter came on for Tony Morgan to finish second. Last week's winner Dingys Party and Jim Morand finished third.
Allmar Surprise is currently the second leading trotting mare in North America for earnings behind Afternoon Dreams. She has also recorded the second most wins at this time.
