Jennatron was an upset winner for Cory Callahan in 1:54.2.

Cory Callahan steered Jennatron, a 4-year-old Jenna’s Beach Boy gelding, to a 42-1 upset win in 1:54.2 in the $14,300 Delaware Pace feature race. The odds on favorite Be Bad Bill (Ross Wolfenden) had overtaken Jennaration at the three-quarters, but Callahan came right back to take the lead and hold it. Be Bad Bill held on for second with Take The Lead (Tony Morgan) third.

Wishwell Sugarbaby, with Tim Tetrick driving for Herman and Lynn Drenth, won the $10,700 Delaware Trot with a 1:58 career fastest performance. BJ Brady (Brad Hanners) was second in front of CR Super Seep (Jim Morand).

The same owner-trainer-driver combination returned to the winner’s circle in a $9,500 Delaware Pace when Dave Rearic-trained Shady Mountain GA won in 1:58.

Roger Plante scored a driving double, steering John Chance’s Mr Supercharger to victory in 1:53.4 in a $10,500 male pace. The impeccably bred Jenna’s Beach Boy gelding, whose dam is Stienam, a former major stakes winner, won easily with C’mon C’mon C’mon (Corey Callahan) closing for second. Snickers Hanover (Eddie Davis, Jr.) was next.

Tetrick made it lucky seven again after a seven win night on Thursday. Tetrick drove an 8-1 shot Art’s Sake, owned by Dave Krol and Pohl Lander Farms, to a come-from-behind 1:54.2 victory in the last of 15 races, to win the $20,000 claiming allowance. Master In Motion (Jim Morand) and Mr Touring (Tony Morgan) were second and third, respectively.

Koko In Flight dropped down a notch in price and Tetrick guided the Falcon Seelster gelding to a 1:56 win in a $17,500 male claiming allowance. Rare Return N (Jim Morand) was runner-up. The Fittster (Ross Wolfenden) took third money.

Arty Foster, Jr. and Debbie Rende’s Just Like Sam was another Tetrick-driven winner. The 10-year-old Nobleland Sam gelding scored his second straight victory, registering a 1:55.1 decision in a $15,000 Delaware male claiming allowance. Voo Doo Rainer finished second with Happy Holmes N (Tony Morgan) third.
