Dover, DE — Morairtime humbled the boys and won the $25,000 Open Trot at Dover Downs on Tuesday night (Nov. 9).

Jack Parker Jr. left from post seven with Morairtime, but waited for the dust to settle as Swansea and Northern Express both left alertly from the starting gate. Morairtime was parked for nearly a half-mile before clearing for the lead. The opening quarter was reached in :27.3 and the half in :56.1.

Morairtime felt pressure past the half as Remarkable De Vie moved first over. Whimsical Chapter followed second over on the rim. Morairtime then braced for the challenge and led the field to the three-quarters in 1:25. In the stretch, Morairtime left the boys in her dust, and won by 1-1/2 lengths and trotted the mile 1:53.2. She trotted the last quarter in :28.2. Northern Express sat in the pocket but could not gain on the leader. Arty Foster Jr. trained and his son Russell Foster drove. Swansea finished a ground saving third for trainer Scott DiDomenico and driver Tim Tetrick.

Morairtime (Airzoom Lindy) paid $4 as the race favorite. She is owned by James Moore III. Jack Parker Jr. drove. Carol Jamison-Parker, Jack’s wife, trained.
