Shine N Shimmer holds off foes at Dover

Shine N Shimmer took the front early and then out-battled several challenges on the way to a 1:51.3 triumph in the $20,000 Mares Open Pace on Tuesday, Dec. 8, at Dover Downs. Reined by perennial meet leader Corey Callahan, Howard Taylor’s five-year-old daughter of American Ideal-Sheer Hose trained by Doug Lewis held off Valerya attacking on the outside on the backstretch then a passing lane brush from fast-finishing Fashion Showdown in the lane to win by a head in 1:51.3, her second win in her last three starts.
