Spunky Vic captures top Delaware trot

While LT's Best and Vince Copeland and JM Vangogh with Tony Morgan continued a head-to-head battle that began on the backstretch, Ross Wolfenden sped down the passing lane with Spunky Vic to overtake the battling pair plus other contenders to notch a 1:55.1 lifetime best in the $32,000 Open Trot.

The $17,500 sub-feature trot went even faster. Morgan, who won two races, made good use of starting from post one with Jobo Da'shabra. The Carry The Message-Rose Run Caitlin gelding owned and trained by Charles Cochran led and never was threatened in a 1:55 triumph, the first win of the year and a career record for the 8 year old. Mignon (Wolfenden) was second the entire route. DC's Piggy Bank (Art Stafford Jr.) edged Go Nano Go (Eddie Davis Jr.) for third.

The 23-1 To Much Fun won a tight three-horse 1:52.4 photo in a $13,200 Delaware pace for Corey Callahan's fourth win on the program. Kelly's Spur (Wolfenden) had led early and finished second. MJBudah Baby (Vic Kirby) closed along the "Delaware Driveway" to finish third beaten a long head. The win was the second for trainer Art Brewer joining Chuck Crissman conditioned two winners.
