Cruzin into the Dover winner's circle

Cruzin Foralivin N lived up to her name scoring a 1:54.2 victory in the $26,000 Open while Ireneonthemove and Ashleys Lucky Lady notched impressive wins in $18,000 filly and mare paces over a windy track label as "good" at Dover Downs on Tuesday. Corey Callahan had a driving triple.

Mike Cole registered his second win of the day piloting Joe Muscara's Cruzin Foralivin N (Live Or Die-She's No Mistake) home first in the first distaff feature of the brand new meet. Cole retook the lead after the quarter and the Jeff Clark-trained Cruzin Foralivin N shook off a charging Easter Egg Hunt (Eric Goodell) in the stretch to win for the eighth time this year. Firiel Hanover (Jim Morand) dashed down the lane to finish third.

Former Delaware champion female pacer Ireneonthemove (Powerful Toy-Lindaonthemove), trained by Jason Skinner, was at the top of her game in a 1:54.1 triumph wiring seven rivals in 1:54.1, the fastest clocking on the 15-race card over the off track. Shady Sabrina (Tim Tetrick) took a shot at the winner getting a nose away at the finish and settled for second in front of Bikini Bottom (Eric Goodell) third. The win was the second of a three-win night for Callahan.

The lone 3-year-old in the field, Sam Jacobs and Ron Reed's Ashleys Lucky Lady (Badlands Hanover-Gee I'm Lucky) rush up on the outside to get the lead at the three-quarters and then sped to a 1:54.3 win in a second $18,000 female pace. Alamode A (Ross Wolfenden) was runner-up edging the fast finishing Betting Machine (Jim Morand). The victory was the second for trainer Janet Davis and driver Eddie Davis Jr.

Goodell also collected a driving double. (Dover Downs)
