Itsrockandroll A delivers at Bally’s Dover

Itsrockandroll A won wire to wire in the $25,000 Open Handicap Pace at Bally’s Dover on Thursday night.

Driver Allan Davis took full advantage of the speed favoring sloppy racing surface and rocketed Itsrockandroll A to the top at the start of the race.  AdamTwelve settled in the pocket. Wehadababyitzaboy, normally a closer, left quickly from the outside and was able to settle in third approaching the quarter.

Itrockandroll A, the 9/5 betting favorite, rolled through fractions of 27.1 to the opening quarter. He breezed to the half in 56, a 29.3 quarter. Driver Jason Green guided Wehadababyitzaboy to the outside from 3rd past the half and was charging hard down the backstretch.

Alta Revelry N grabbed the 2nd over cover.  Captaincountrystar followed 3rd over on the rim.  Adam Twelve accepted the pocket trip.

Wehadababyitzaboy and Itsrockandroll A matched strides and battled to the  three quarters in 1:23.3, a 27.3 quarter.

Itsrockandroll A surged late in the stretch to win by a half length in 1:51.4. He paid $5.60 for the win.  Wehadababyitzaboy finished 2nd and Adam Twelve was 3rd.

Itsrockandroll A (A Rocknroll Dance) is owned by Elizabeth and Bret Brittingham both from Delaware.  Don Brittingham trained and Allan Davis.
