U S Captain and Mike Cole set fractions of :26.4 and :54.4 hile on an uncontested lead. At the five-eighths marker, Slick Tony (Victor Kirby) launched a first-over bid from fourth into a brisk headwind while stalked by even money favorite Itsrockandroll A (Corey Callahan). Tiger Thompson N and driver Art Stafford Jr. encountered excess cover from third-over, circling four-wide near three-quarters in 1:23. The 8-year-old Big Jim gelding powered by everyone in the stretch and won by a measured length in 1:51. JJ Flynn (Montrell Teague), who was last at the head of the stretch, finished second; Itsrockandroll A finished third.

Trainer Josh Parker co-owns Tiger Thompson N with Nanticoke Racing, Stephen Messick and the Prestige Stable.

Racing at Dover Downs resumes on Monday (March 8). Post time is 4:30 p.m.
