The Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) 3-year-old colts and geldings began their preliminaries with five divisions at Dover Downs on Thursday, with Drollinger and Man Of Science winning the trots and Big Heart, Uncle Rubble and Dina's Gamble taking the paces.

Arlie Tinder's Drollinger, a son of CR Commando, scored an impressive victory for Vic Kirby on the chilly and windy evening in 2:01. First National closed strongly for Art Stafford Jr. to finish second with Rough Seas and Eddie Davis Jr. third. It was the first of two winners for trainer Jeff Long.

The fastest clocking for a DSBF trot came in the other $20,000 section when Brandon Givens guided a chestnut CR Commando he shares in ownership with Walter Blacharski, Man Of Science, to victory in 2:01.1. Indian Hill Mojoe and Ron Hill closed quickly to finish second. Bogey N Bacall with Corey Callahan was the show finisher.

Teague Inc.'s Big Heart, teamed with Jim Morand, fought off a bid from Frog Juice and Tim Tetrick, the second-place finisher, around the final turn before pulling away for a 1:53.1 victory in a $20,000 DSBF colt test. Always A Choice came in third.

Tetrick also steered Joe Gulotta's Uncle Rubble to his second win of the night a 1:53.3 victory, the third in his last four starts for the Badlands Hanover-sired gelding. Business Plan and Ben Stafford raced game to finish second in front of Mimi's Tyler and Ross Wolfenden the early leader.

Dina's Gamble, owned by Vicki Givens and Louie Paglieroni, came on entering the stretch drive to score a 1:53.4 decision in another DSBF section. Martiniwith Olives pulled Tony Morgan to a second while Badlands Jaden and Tetrick were third. (Dover Downs)
