Eric Goodell is making a habit of winning Dover Downs' feature races. After sweeping both lucrative co-features Monday, on Tuesday Goodell swept both features again driving two 6-1 shots to come-from-behind victories: Chloes Silver Star in the $33,000 mares Open Handicap and Wannahuckaloogi in the $26,000 mares Jr. Open. Goodell completed the program with four wins.

In front of the grandstand, Goodell pulled Chloes Silver Star out of sixth to get into the forward flow, then moved the Intrepid Seelster-Silver Chloe 5 year old four wide on the final turn and then in her last step caught 44-1 shot Dill And Grace A, driven by Jon Roberts, at the finish line in 1:53. It was her second win of the year.

Odd-on favorite Still Electric broke stride just before the start. She then rallied for Tim Tetrick to catch the field by the quarter and then continue on from the half-mile. Tetrick sent her five wide turning for home and closed to with a half-length of the winner at the wire finishing third.

Gary Evans and Foulk Stables own Chloes Silver Star, now a winner of $49,989 in 2009 and $148,726 lifetime.

Goodell also drove the 4-year-old mare named Wannahuckaloogi to victory. Owned by trainer Tony Poliseno, the winner, by Dream Work-Unlawful Seizure, racked up her third consecutive victory moving up the ranks weekly. Delightful Diva with Tony Morgan finished second and Hopefull N handled by Brandon Givens was the show finisher.

To cap off the evening, Goodell rated Larry Baron's Real Jenna, A Real Desire-Jennababe 4 year old, perfectly on the way to a 1:54.3 triumph, his fifth, in the top race, the $17,500 mares pace sub-feature. Mery Linny Lee (Tetrick) finished second with Hot Lips (Vic Kirby) finding room between horses to take third.

In the first of two $14,000 mare paces, Raging Character with Brandon Givens driving for Louie Paglierani came on for a 1:53.4 triumph besting Moselle Hanover (Callahan) and Kellytuck Sophie (Roberts), second and third, respectively. It was the first win of the New Year for the Shady Character-Ranch Dressing 4 year old. (Dover Downs)
