I Did It Myway best again at Dover

I Did It Myway (Captaintreacherous) overcame an outside post and overland trip to win back to back harness racing dashes in the Blue Hen/Open Handicap Pace at Bally’s Dover on Thursday night.

Mack was the quickest off of the starting gate at the start of the race.  I Did It Myway left from post 8 and retreated to the pylons in 4th position

Sir Issac Newton was not content to sit along the pylons.  He rushed to the top passing the quarter in a rapid 26.1. Mack gladly accepted the pocket trip.  Sir Issac Newton and driver Tim Tetrick, continued on the lead and slowed down the pace reaching the half in 55.1, a  29 flat quarter.

I Did It Myway, the 3/2 betting favorite, angled to the outside from fourth and steamrolled up the backstretch in pursuit of Sir Issac Newton. The two hooked horns after reaching the three quarters in 1:23 a 27.4 quarter.

At the top of the stretch, Issac Newton became leg weary.  I Did It Myway remained on the rim and Sprocket rocketed three wide. Mack waited for room along the pylons. I Did It Myway powered to the top in deep stretch and won by a hard fought length in 1:50.3. He paced the final quarter in 27.3 and paid an even $5 for the win.
