Workslikeacharm rallies to Dover late closer win

Dover, DE — Tim Tetrick maneuvered Workslikeacharm through traffic to score a 1:57.3 lifetime mark in the $51,200 final of the Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund late closer for 3-year-old male trotters at Bally’s Dover on Tuesday night (March 26).

LG’s Jaxon, sent off the 4-5 favorite, left with authority and set fractions of :27.3, :58 and 1:27.

LG’s Bluestone offered mild first-over pressure up the backstretch, with Jetsam following second-over and a patient Workslikeacharm sitting third-over. At the top of the stretch, Workslikeacharm began to weave through heavy traffic, and the son of E L Platinum surged past LG’s Jaxon late to win by a neck.
