Sharky Osborne pulls a surprise in the $37,5000 feature, Thin Blue Line takes the $35,0000 Delaware Special and Ross The Boss N wins $27,500 Open pace on Monday at Dover Downs, a card that also featured five wins by the sport's leading driver Tim Tetrick, who has won five races for the second straight night. Tony Morgan, the 2006 champion had a triple while Ron Pierce and Brian Sears contributed driving doubles.

Morgan found room in deep stretch to move Gary Minner and Pete Richardson's 11-1 shot Sharky Osborne through to a 1:51.3 victory in the feature race giving the driver his third win of the night. Brad Hanners shot Keystone Rodeo into the lead at the start and led at all intervals until the closing strides. Bedware Beret and Sears came on to finish third.

Thin Blue Line, racing for Paul McDougall and WJ McDougall Racing Inc., set a personal record of 1:50.2 winning the $35,000 Delaware Special. Pierce moved the former Michigan champion into the lead on the clubhouse turn and said goodbye to seven rivals to win for the second time in his last four starts. Art Director and Tetrick rolled home second a length back at the wire. Prince Of Luck and Ross Wolfenden took third.

Roger Plante and Ken Wood's Ross the Boss N got up for a 1:51.4 win in the $27,500 Open/Handicap pace. Sears and Cheyenne Hollywood closed with a rush to finish second in front of Lotsa Guy and David Miller. The win was the second in his last three for the 9-year-old Falcon Seelster gelding Ross The Boss N.

Scott Enman's Armbro Baylor made good use of starting from the rail as Morgan steered the Matt's Scooter 6 year old to a 1:52.4 win in a $21,000 winners-over pace. Dreamfair Titan with Tetrick was best of the rest finishing second. What A View with Pierce took show honors.

Archie Andrews, the 6-year-old Artiscape pacer, not the comic strip character, gave Pierce his second winner in another $21,000 winners-over pace. After three consecutive seconds, the Scot Dillon-owned gelding, came from off the pace to notch a 1:51.3 victory. Jasper Bob, handled by Tetrick, took second in front of Wizsell and Miller.

Forrest Bartlett's American Fury, driven by Brandon Givens, overtook front-pacing Gryffindor and Tetrick in deep stretch to win a third $21,000 winners-over pace. Black Reef N with Miller was third.

Tetrick, who won the first three races, capped off his five-win program with a 1:53 victory behind Glitter For Prez, the second win for owners Bob Rementer and trainer Jason Skinner. Neutron Bomb (Wolfenden) came on for second in front of The Deputy Is Home (Pierce). (Dover Downs)
