Sage's Image takes Dover feature

Sage's Image and Letmetellusumthin won the $16,500 feature pace and $15,000 trot, respectively, at Dover Downs on Thursday, while Roger Plante piloted three winners.

The sport's reigning dash win champion, Tony Morgan, steered Sage's Image, owned by Mitch Rosenthal, Dan Pallay and Bowl Stables, to a 1:56 victory. The Mike Hall-conditioned Image In Motion-Country Sage gelding raced as expected from a race favorite scoring his first win of the new season and second win in a row. Coppertop (Vic Kirby) was second with Zachary Lou (Brandon Givens) the third-place finisher.

Corey Callahan left sharply with Letmetellusumthin and the 5-year-old daughter of Enjoy Lavec-Carioca Kosmos took care of the rest. Letmetellusumthin cut out all the fractions in an impressive 1:57.1 triumph for Ron Ralph and breeder-co-owner Jeanne McInnis. It was her fourth win along with two seconds in her six starts this meet. Adam Gram (Morgan) had just enough to hold off Spunky Vic (Tom Jackson) in a photo for third.

Callahan rang up his second winner of the night guiding 16-1 shot Tacos Du Ruisseau from post eight to a come-from-behind 1:55.1 victory in a $12,000 pace. Art Feeney, Charlie Bonuccelli and trainer Nick Callahan own the Cam's Card Shark-Western Jeans 6 year old that won for the second time this meet.

Victory Spirit N (Jim Morand) edged Racing Naked (Morgan) for second.

The longest shot on the card came when Murat Farm's Fulla Surprise scored a never-look-back 1:59.4 win in a $15,000 claiming trot. The win was the third for driver Plante and second for trainer Phyllis Copeland. The Ontario-bred altered son of the late King Conch-Warrawee Willow was chased home be Rattlesnake Jake (George Dennis) along the passing lane and Ritzy Rip (Tim Curtin), third. (Dover Downs)
