TSM Scar Face was a 1:53.3 winner for Ron Pierce in Sunday’s Dover feature.

Ron Pierce and trainer Josh Green scored one of their two wins when TSM Scar Face flashed down the stretch in 1:53.3 to win the $25,000 claiming allowance pace. The Jake And Elwood-Tyler Ridge gelding is owned by Ellis Freedman and Nate Epstein. Forever Good (Mike Cole) was runner-up. In Hot Pursuit HR (Jonathan Roberts) was the show horse.

Fox Hollow Farm’s Solano, overlooked at 20-1 from the rail, wore down another longshot Lord Of The Bling (George Dennis) in the lane and got up at the wire in 1:54.2 to win a $12,000 male pace. Tim Curtin was the winning driver for trainer Sam Beegle in the first U.S. start for the No Pan Intended-Bloodstock Nilator 4-year-old that had been racing previously in Ontario. PH Powerplay (Tony Morgan) led early and held on for third.

Corey Callahan, who had six wins on Saturday, followed up with a driving triple on Sunday. He drove Delaware Fortune, a Badlands Hanover-Cool Flying Filly gelding that he co-owns with his brother, Shaun, and father, trainer Nick Callahan, to a 1:55.2 win in a $9,000 male pace and then piloted Rodney Long’s Chipoffablueblock (Tulsa Blue Chip-Harmony Oaks Lady) home in 1:54.1 to win a $20,000 Delaware claiming pace.

Callahan was joined by Brandon Givens with a driving triple. Ross Wolfenden, Ron Pierce and trainers Josh Green and Nick Callahan notched two winners each.
