For the second straight week, Joey The Jet JT trotted home in 1:55.4, good enough to get the winner's circle again to win the Wednesday feature race, the $30,000 St. Patrick's Day Open Handicap Trot at Dover Downs.

Joey The Jet JT sat patiently as Chosen Voyageur and Ron Pierce cut out the early fraction and appeared strong until halfway down the lane when a convoy of challengers were on the move behind the leader. In the closing strides Joey The Jet JT and Ross Wolfenden were coming the fastest and outlegged Daryl Bier-driven Jeter Marvel to get to the wire first. Early Shirley, with driver Jack Parker Jr., the only mare in the select field, also closed with a rush and finished a close-up third.

Eric Ell conditions the game Joey The Jet JT, a Wesgate Crown-NV Becky gelding, for Ken Wood and Bill Dittmar. It was his third win in eight races this year for the $39,540 winning seven-year-old.
