Majestic Marvel upset in the Winners Over/Select Trot at Dover Downs on Tuesday night (March 9).
On a warm night with temperatures in the mid 60’s, the two speed horses in the race finished first and second.
Bluebird Jesse muscled his way to the top and Majestic Marvel retreated to the pocket. Bluebird Jesse was able to set uncontested fractions of :28 to the quarter and :57.1 to the half.
Swan Legacy pulled off the pylons from sixth before the half. Pat Berry hustled Swan Legacy first over and pressured Bluebird Jesse to the three-quarters in 1:25.1
At the top of the stretch, Swan Legacy weakened and Perfect Stick circled three wide, but was unable to gain any ground. At the seven-eighths pole, Corey Callahan and Majestic Marvel found a seam in the open stretch and surged past Bluebird Jesse at the wire to win by a neck in 1:53.2.

YONKERS, N.Y. – Delaware-based harness racing trainer Dylan Davis’ name doesn’t appear in the Yonkers program regularly. Out of Davis’ 542 starters to date in 2020, only 17 of them have come at the Hilltop. When faced with a long ship each way and stiff competition, Davis wants to ensure that when he does make the trek, he is coming to win.
“Personally, I love racing there, it’s just a matter of having the right class of horse,” Davis said. “It’s kind of hard for us to just take one horse all the way to Yonkers. If traffic is good, we can make it in four hours, but if we hit the George Washington Bridge at the wrong time, it can be a job. That’s why when I do come, I enter two, three, sometimes four at a time.”
