Delishka N wins by a nose in the Mares Open pace at Dover

Dover, DE – The feature at Dover Downs tonight was highlighted by Reclamation and Moments of Joy. Both class mares left quickly out of the gate, but it was Reclamation who was cut the mile with little pressure. Moments of Joy sat the pocket and Delsihka N remained third on the rail.

Reclamation was allowed to race uncontested until the three-quarters when Delishka N and Allan Davis mounted their charge. Sidewalk Dancer and Montrell Teague also followed off the rail to find a covered journey. Bettor Joy N the bet down favorite, was third over and sent three-wide.

At the top of the stretch, Delishka N was able to overtake the pace-setter Reclamation, but found danger in the form of a fast closing Sidewalk Dancer. Delishka N dug in and held on by a nose in 1:51.1, paying $11.90 to win.

Sidewalk Dancer lost in the photo and finished 2nd for driver Montrell Teague and trainer Chuck Crissman Jr. Bettor Joy N was the victim of poor racing luck and settled for the show spot for Tetrick.

Delishka N is trained by Wayne Givens and owned by Legacy Racing of Delaware, Hazzard and Calloway.
Dover Downs post time is 4:30 p.m. on Thursday (Jan. 23rd).
