Starting from Post 8 was not a burden for Major Herbie, who closed strongly in the stretch to record a 1:57.2 victory in the $16,500 Winners Over feature trot on Wednesday, March 6 on a ‘sloppy’ track at Dover Downs.
With Ron Pierce in the sulky, Major Herbie scored his third win from his last four races, overtaking early leader Allmar Surprise after turning down the lane and rolling on for his 19th lifetime victory.
David Rovine, VIP Internet and Seafood Delight stables own the five-year-old ridgling by Here Comes Herbie-Independent Dame that has won $26,390 this year and $230,975 in his career.
Im So Striking also closed with a rush to finish second and Windsun Galaxie (Eric Carlson) came on to finish third.
