Three Of Spades goes all in at Dover

The fast-finishing Three Of Spades scored a 1:51.4 victory to win the $27,000 Open pacing feature at Dover Downs on a cold Monday, and That's Justice wrapped up the $23,000 co-feature.

 

Jon Roberts steered the lightly-raced Three Of Spaces to his first win since mid-November for Bill DeLodovico and Bib Roberts in the week's top pacing event. The Cam's Card Shark-Triple Flip gelding has been second and third twice in $27,000 feature races during the interim. Waipawa Lad N was well-placed, racing near the front for Brad Hanners, and finished second. Tim Tetrick hustled Art Director from eighth on the backstretch to a quick-closing third.

 

A switch in post from eight to the rail was all That's Justice needed. Vince Copeland drove the winner of the $23,000 winners-over pace. The Village Jove-Power Persuasion gelding wore down the leader and odds-on favorite, Proper Respect, and recorded a 1:53.1 victory for owner Tim Lancaster. Estero Bay got up for second with Tony Morgan, with Proper Respect and Corey Callahan third. (Dover Downs)
