On a cold and very wet Wednesday night at Rosecroft Raceway, harness racing driver Jonathan Roberts still managed to catch fire.
The 40-year-old Roberts, second in the Rosecroft dash standings, made up some ground winning five races on Wednesday, three of those for his father, Bib, who netted a training triple.
Starship, Buckeye N and Rocktavius all found the winners circle, the latter picking up his 46th career win.
Roberts also picked up wins with Tapped Teen for Michael Hall and Champ Charbel for Joseph Karrat in the Daily Double to start the card that netted a $336.10 payout.
Jason Thompson and Island Of The Sea won the Open Handicap for a second straightĀ week. Thompson sent the five-year old altered son on Always A Virgin to the front and never came close to giving up the lead for owner-trainer Eric Ell and wife Lisa.
Frank Milby won with Always B Magic for his 2,996th career win.
