Mike Casalino Jr. and Dylan Davis' Theresademoninme ($3.60, Jonathan Roberts) was a 1:56 winner in the $17,500 Open Trot at Harrington Raceway on Wednesday (May 23).
A full field of eight lined up behind the gate for the weekly feature for trotters. Last week's winner, I Like My Boss, charged out of the gate from post 6 for the early lead. Race favourite Theresademoninme settled in fourth from post 7, but did not sit long as he marched first-over towards the half-mile marker. I Like My Boss led through three-quarters in 1:26.3, but Theresademoninme gained slowly and eventually edged clear in deep stretch for the win. Royal Becca J put together a fierce stretch rally to be second while I Like My Boss held third.
It was the sixth win of the year for Theresademoninme, who is trained by Davis. The seven-year-old Kadabra gelding closed out the Dover Downs meet with three consecutive wins before a stint at Hoosier Park (Indiana).
Iron Mine Branch's Fight The Truth improved to a perfect five-for-five at the meet with a 1:55.2 win for trainer Greg Haverstick. The six-year-old Total Truth gelding was claimed for $7,500, however, by new connections and trainer Justin Brenneman.
Tony Morgan had three wins on the program.
