Threepeat in $27,500 Blue Hen Open Special

I Did It Myway (Captaintreacherous) left, brushed, and dominated in the $27,500 Blue Hen Special, winning his third harness racing contest in a row at Bally’s Dover on Thursday (Dec. 21) night.

Mack led the charge out of the gate and reached the opening quarter in :27.2. Penzance Hanover settled in the pocket.

The 2/5 betting favorite, I Did It Myway, left from post 7 for driver Tim Tetrick, hovered from third then rushed to the top past the quarter.  From there it was all I Did It Myway doing it his way on the engine.  He reached the half in :55.1 (:27.4). Midway down the backstretch,  Penzance Hanover took his shot first over with Energetic Hanover shadowing second over on the outside.

I Did It Myway was on cruise control passing the three-quarter beam in 1:23. a :27.4 quarter. As the field turned for home, Mack left the pocket and charged late but it was a futile chase.  I Did It Myway rumbled on to win by a length in 1:50.2. Mack finished second and Energetic Hanover was third.
