Mister Virgin got back to his winning ways on Monday at Dover Downs taking the President’s Day $17,500 feature pace in 1:50.3 with Tony Morgan driving.
After Cashendash Hanover (Tim Tetrick) fired away to the lead after the start, then Tony Morgan moved Mister Virgin into the lead and was not challenged on the way to an easy victory with Cashendash Hanover holding second with Hide Me Away (Russell Foster) the third finisher.
After running up a half-dozen consecutive wins at the start of the meet, the
Always A Virgin-Miss Picasso gelding was claimed in mid-January and the week after Ron Davis moved the brown gelding up to the $25,000 ranks without success, he returned to the $17,500 level for trainer Brooks Gray and again resumed to dominate the class this week.
The Tuesday $25,000 Open/Handicap trot brings back last week’s winner Elysium Lindy and close-second Royal Becca J meeting Celebrity Pegasus and Theresademoninme in a hard-hitting eight-horse field.
