Go Flyin N holds off Jenny’s Picnic in the Dover feature.

The consistent Sands A Flyin six-year-old overtook front pacing Roses Best, with Toby Lynch driving, and the Roger Hammer driven contender RN Artist, battling on the front end, streaking from seventh on the outside to get the lead on the last turn and then held off a determined bid from Jenny’s Picnic and Steve Warrington in deep stretch for the victory.

The Wayne Whitson trainee has been in the money in seven of 13 starts, earning $35,195 this season.

Hanners now needs nine more wins to equal the track record of 247 set by Luc Ouellette in the 1998-99 season.

Mapua Magic N scored in the Mares Winners Over Pace.

In the $17,500 Mares Winners Over Pace, Ross Wolfenden moved Rodney Long’s late closing speedster Mapua Magic N earlier than usual and the Holmes Hanover import powered home a 1:53.2 winner. Bluebird Wanda (Hal Belote) chased her down the lane to finish second with Seasin (Roger Plante) third.

Jim Morand continue his hot winning ways, piloting 6-1 Bay Express N, owned by Ed Maas, Howard Paisley and trainer John Bryan, to a 1:55 win in a $12,500 pace for females. My Gal Phyl (Roger Hammer) got to within a neck of the winner, finishing second in front of Lucille A (Jim King).

Morand earlier drove Bob and Rhonda Smith’s Mrs Tricky to a 1:55.2 triumph in a $10,000 Fillies and Mares pace. Maynooth N (Ross Wolfenden) came on to finish second. Romance Me (Sean Bier) had the lead on the far turn but tired to finish third.

Scootinannirevonah, owned by Janelle Winer and trainer Don Harmon, used the passing lane effectively to edge Western Fate (Toby Lynch) and Love And Lust N (Steve Warrington) at the wire for a 1:55.1 score in a $20,000-$25,000 mares claiming allowance pace.

Eddie Davis, Jr. drove Bob Stevenson’s CR Regent Warrior to a 2:00.3 win in the $9,500 Delaware trot. Little Irish (Sam Belote) was runner-up. Limoge (Jim Morand) took third.

Brandon Givens, at 18 the youngest regular driver at the track, racked up a driving double. He drove Seboomook Warrior, trained by his uncle Wayne Givens, to a 1:56.1 win, taking a $7,500 Delaware claiming pace for Vicki Givens and Sharon White in the day’s first race. Youthful Givens returned later to steer Indigo Star N, an eight-year-old mare he owns with Donna Messick, to a 1:56.3 win in a $10,000 Delaware filly and mare claiming pace.

$14,000 Trot, $40,000 claimer are Wednesday features

A $14,000 conditioned trot and a $40,000 claiming pace top the Wednesday, April 13 Dover Downs card. Post is 4:30 p.m.

There are four starters boasting win streaks in the $14,000 featured trot. Vicki Lynn Fair and trainer-driver Roger Hammer’s veteran Shark Kosmos went a big trip outside for three-quarters of a mile before getting up at the wire for a 1:56.1 victory by a nose last week. Jeff Franklin’s recent addition Call Me Hazel came from behind with Jim Morand to win a 1:57.1 contest, while Don Irving and Sam McMichael’s T Bird took the lead early for Bobby Reeser and was never headed in his first local win. Meanwhile, Dave and Bonnie Sue Aurichio’s Sapphire Sue was placed first last time out. Kevin Sizer will drive.

Ken Wood’s Picture Seelster led until the final strides for Mike Cole in his last start. The other starters are Ringside Leah, driven by Herve Filion for Bob Harper and Bill Vandervort from post one; Helen Looney and JoAnn King’s Pretty Goal Vita with trainer-driver Jim King; Franny Pitts-West’s New Dawn Hanover and Eddie Davis; and Mr Performer, owned by Stacy Johnson and trainer-driver Art Stafford, Jr.

Two of the eight starters in the first $40,000 claimer won last time out. Robin Breasure’s Art Burn scored a wire-to-wire 1:53.2 win last week for Hal Belote at this price level. Ed and Jim Hall’s Lookout Bert A notched an overland 1:54 victory and steps up in company with Roger Plante driving.

Art Brewer’s Sporty Nate was second for Mike Cole in his last race while Pat Tortorello’s Kovacev and Ross Wolfenden finished third. Diamond Jack, owned by Donny Irving and Sam McMichael, drew the rail teamed with Tim Curtin. Nick and Corey Callahan’s JP Hickory, reined by Brad Hanners, is alongside. Country Girl Stables’ Magic Force, with Billy Manna, and Jim Morand-driven Bonn Rocket N, owned by Carter Racing Stable, who must overcome post eight, round out the field.

On the undercard, Carter Racing and driver Bobby Myers’ promising Victor Vuitton N and Ron Killen’s Future Fan (Art Stafford, Jr.) head a $13,200 Delaware Pace, while Vince Bradley’s Bluebird Hi Ho (George Dennis) drops down in price in a $20,000 claiming pace. Trainer-driver Bobby Reeser’s The Rotterdam drew the rail and is the one to beat in an $11,500 conditioned trot.
