Fifty Ways rallies off cover, wins Dover trot

Dover, DE — Fifty Ways capitalized on a second-over trip and won Tuesday night’s (March 7) $18,000 Winners Over/Select Handicap Trot at Bally’s Dover.

Skyway Bebop and Quiksilvr Bluechip left alertly from the start of the race amid windy conditions, passing the opening quarter one-two in :27.3 while Michael Cole rated Fifty Ways patiently in fourth. After Skyway Bebop rated a :56 half, he faced pressure from the first-over Gaelihill up the backstretch while Fifty Ways shadowed second-over cover and 6-5 favorite Swan In Motion followed third-over.

As Gaelihill turned up the pressure on Skyway Bebop past three-quarters in 1:25.1, Fifty Ways circled four-wide nearing the top of the stretch. The 5-year-old Donato Hanover gelding stormed home to win by a neck in 1:55.1. Quicksilvr Bluechip (driven by Victor Kirby) surged up the pylons to finish second, beaten a neck, over early leader Skyway Bebop (Tony Morgan).
