Dover, DE – Jody was a wire-to-wire winner in the Mares Winners Over/Select Pace at Bally’s Dover on Wednesday (Jan. 31) night.

Jody and driver Allan Davis were the aggressors as they launched off the wings of the starting gate, pacing to the quarter- pole. That strategy forced Shield Maiden to settle in the pocket. Majorca N, who left from post eight, retreated to the four path racing to the quarter.

Jody was on a mission as she cut out fractions of :27.2 to the quarter. The half was blitzed in :56.1, a :28.4 quarter.

Disturbed Hanover attacked first-over past the half. The 9/5 betting favorite Majorca N was carried second-over on the rim and Twin Delight was towed into a third-over position

Jody accelerated, pacing to the three-quarters in 1:24.1 a :28 flat quarter. Majorca N was breathing fire and vacated her second-over position circling three-wide into the lane. Shield Maiden watched all the action from the pocket and was ready to strike. Jody remained strong in the stretch and coasted to a two and a half length victory in 1:52.3. She paid $9.40 for the win.
