Dover, DE — 2015 Horse of the Year Wiggle It Jiggleit recorded the fastest qualifying mile in Dover Downs history on Wednesday (March 16), notching a 1:50.1 victory in the seventh qualifying race of the morning.

With his regular driver Montrell Teague in the bike, the now 4-year-old altered son of Mr Wiggles-Mozzi Hanover left from post seven and reached the first quarter in :26.4. He made the half-mile in :55.3 and then 1:23.3 to the three-quarters. After a :26.3 final panel, Wiggle It Jiggleit reached the finish line in 1:50.1 with his nearest rival, Fearless Diablo (Jonathan Roberts), 32-1/4 lengths behind.

Not as fortunate was his 3-year-old sister Mozzi Minaj, who qualified earlier. She paced her mile in 1:56.1, but was only sixth in her event.
