Victor Kirby moved Dover Dolly three wide on the far turn and then proceeded to overtake the leaders in the stretch to get up at the wire in 1:54.4 at 27-1 odds. The winner of the $100,000 DSBF filly final at Harrington last summer made her first start at the meet earlier this month and was at her best in catching Seamstresforthepan (Allan Davis) in the closing strides. Final Renee (Roger Plante) came on for third.

Jim McAuliffe owns Dover Dolly, a 3-year-old Badlands Hanover-Morepowertoya filly trained by Bobby Myers.

One race earlier, Ladyfield and Tony Morgan registered a 1:55.3 victory in an $18,500 distaff pace. Morgan moved the Armbro Cadet-Tally Almahurst 7-year-old to the outside heading to the clubhouse turn. She overtook leader Erma La Em (Ron Pierce) on the backstretch and was in command the rest of the way. Dasher On Attack (Tim Tetrick) was second in front of Nidya A (Mike Cole).

Oddly named Nevertroubletroubl wins for 12th time

Monticello, NY — Nevertroubletroubl, a 4-year-old pacing gelding by Pro Bono Best, scored his 12th seasonal triumph on Tuesday at Monticello Raceway when Mike Merton drove him to a 1:58.3 victory, by a head over Bettor Watch Him, who was driven by Mike’s brother, Greg.

All season long Nevertroubletroubl has been a standout here at the Mighty M, racing against the best pacers on the grounds. To substantiate the previous comments one just has to look at the pacer’s 2008 statistics. Besides his 12 wins in 35 starts, Nevertroubletroubl has had 11 seconds and four thirds and has amassed a seasonal bankroll in excess of $75,000. His prowess was good enough to earn him the honor of “Older Pacing Horse of the Year” at Monticello Raceway this season.
