Rusty's Biggie Romps in Dover feature trot

Rusty's Biggie romped to victory in the $13,000 trot, while Reserve Forces and Sniper Hall won the top paces on Thursday at Dover Downs. Eddie Davis Jr. had a four-bagger.

Vic Kirby and Rusty's Biggie ranged up three wide at the three quarters and rolled past the leaders to quickly take over and then pulled away for a 1:57.1 victory in the $13,000 feature trot. Tom Kirby trains the 6-year-old CR Commando gelding for Midwesterners Horsemans Financial Agency and Premier Racing Stable. 

It was Rusty's Biggie's third win in his last four outings. Chocolate Tiara (George Dennis), the only mare in the field of nine starters, finished second. Sir Pete (Jim Morand) finished fourth and was placed third when early leader Renegade Dream (Kevin Sizer) broke stride nearing the finish line and was disqualified due to a lapped-on break.

Highly thought of Reserve Forces with Eddie Davis Jr. wore down leader Pros Best Dream (Mike Cole) racing alongside from the backstretch until mid stretch to score a 1:54.1 triumph in an $11,000 Male pace. The Real Desire 4 year old is trained by Bob Stevenson, who haltered his second winner of the night, for Canadians Carl Jamieson and Ken Henwood. Beavercreek Harley (Tony Morgan) took third money.

Mike Cole drove Sniper Hall along the passing lane to catch gritty Southwind Apache (Kevin Sizer) approaching the finish line for a 1:53.4 score in a $25,000 Claiming pace. Kyrios N (Eddie Davis Jr.) closed well to finish third.
