Dover, DE — Chapheart scored his second consecutive win in Tuesday’s (March 11) $19,000 Winners Over/Select Trot at Bally’s Dover.
Chapheart and Plumville Prince were quickest away from the starting gate. Plumville Prince held a brief lead before Chapheart rushed to the lead at the end of a :27.3 quarter after settling into the pocket. Chapheart raced comfortably on the lead and backed the half down to :58. Muscledover started his first-over grind before the half and continued on his journey up the backstretch, towing Every Day Dan with him second-over. Chapheart, the 2-5 favorite, remained in total control of the race and reached the three-quarters in 1:26.
As the outside tier began to wilt, Plumville Prince and Rivers took full advantage of their ground-saving trips, however those bids also failed. Chapheart won by a half length and trotted the mile in 1:55.
Plumville Prince finished second and Rivers was third.
Chapheart, a son of Chapter Seven who paid $2.80 to win, is owned by Michael Casalino Jr. and Dylan Davis Racing. Pat Berry drove for trainer Dylan Davis.
Tony Morgan and Tim Tetrick drove three winners apiece.
