Too Salty ($14.80) proved to be at his best at the Isle Pompano Park Monday, taking it to race favorite Slave Dream in capturing the $16,000 Open Handicap Trot in 1:55. The feature race started off with Keystone Empire (Wally Hennessey) shooting to the early lead from post five and cutting the mile to the opening quarter in :27.3 with O-Georgie (Bruce Ranger) right on their back. Past the half mile marker in :56, Hennessey had control of the race with Keystone Empire as O-Georgie then pulled the pocket just as Slave Dream (David Ingraham) started up first-over. That forced Slave Dream to try and sweep three wide and Too Salty and driver Joe Pavia Jr. took advantage of that live cover and also went three wide around the final turn. As the field started down the stretch, Slave Dream held a one-length lead as Keystone Empire went offstride, but Slave Dream’s lead was short lived as It was the second straight win this year and a lifetime mark for Too Salty, a 5-year-old gelding by SJ’s Caviar. Doug Miller trains and co-owns Too Salty with William Weaver III of Freehold, N.J. (Pompano Park)
