Rallies take Dover features

Wrangler Sam and NF Signature used similar come-from-behind tactics to win the two $20,000 feature paces Sunday at Dover Downs, while Tim Tetrick continued his multiple-win performances in driving four winners.

Tetrick moved Virginia Louthan's Wrangler Sam three wide heading into the final turn and had just enough to hold off fast-finishing Stock Market Wiz (Eddie Davis) at the wire in 1:52.3 in a $20,000 Delaware winners-over pace. The victory for the Nobleland Sam gelding was his third in succession. Scotian Slick with Kevin Sizer took third money.

Roger Plante and NF Signature took the shortest way home in a second $20,000 Delaware winners-over pace overtaking front-pacing Marced Card with Tetrick for The Wiz Kids Stable to score a 1:53.2 victory. Shotaway N with Jim Morand closed strongly to finish third.

Plante also drove Bill and Karen Haggerty's Iza Miraculous Guy in his first pari-mutuel start since last July to victory in the $15,500 Delaware male pace notching a 1:54 victory passing front-pacing Battersby N (Sean Bier) in the stretch. CR Shanghai (Ross Wolfenden) took third.
.
In a $14,500 4-&-5-year-old male pace, Morand pinch-hit for Brad Hanners, who was injured in a morning training incident, and drove Search And Rescue to victory in 1:54.4 for owner Paul McDougall Racing Inc. Regal (Tetrick) was runner-up with Allbecauseof This (Plante), the show horse

Awesome Character, with Eddie Davis Jr. in the bike, made it three wins in a row taking a 1:55.1 triumph in a $14,000 3-4-&-5-year-old pace. Full Of Elegance (Tetrick) came from dead last at the three-quarters to circle the field on the last turn and come within a half-length of the winner. B Dee's Artist (Brandon Givens) was the third finisher. (Dover Downs)
