Rosecroft Mares Open won by longshot

Dice Dice Baby (Rockincam) and harness racing driver Jared Moyer pulled off a 15-1 upset in the $10,000 Mares Open Tuesday night (April 16) at Rosecroft Raceway.

The six-year-old mare was game, using a first over bid to wear down the pace setter Honey Love. As the mares hit the top of the lane, Moyer and Dice Dice Baby edged clear to win by one and one-quarter lengths, besting CIndy Jo and Auntmilly’smartini in 1:54.
