Add in cold rain, a deep track, a minus two variant and you get a difficult night to do your business. As is the case with all horsemen, the show must go on and did Wednesday night (Dec. 16) at Rosecroft, as Jonathan Roberts secured five victories on the 14-race card. Roberts swept the daily double for his sister, trainer Megan Roberts, as Sansa and Callmegaga picked up victories for Bib Roberts and Graham Grace Stables. He would also steer Thats Fun to a win for trainer Shaun Callahan and Breakaway Racing in the third race.
With only a few more weeks of live racing remaining on the calendar at Rosecroft Raceway, numerous owners and trainers are simply looking to put the finishing touches on the meet in style. In the featured, $12,000 Open Handicap for aged pacers that actually kicked off the Sunday night card, Rocktavius (Luke Hanners) lived up to his role as the even-money favorite when he gained command in a 26.4 opener, yielded to Admiral Ballsy (Russell Foster) before the half, sat a tight pocket down the backside and through the far turn then angled to the passing lane and just got up for a head score in 1:51.3.

Driving amongst a solid colony of veterans, the future of harness racing in the mid-atlantic has potential if these young bucks stay grounded and heed the lessons learned while driving in a competitive group. Sunday night at Rosecroft, veteran Allan Davis won three races and several young understudies, none of which can legally drink an alcoholic beverage, each gained victories.
