Monday night led off with the fillies and record temp for the last day of November of 75 which brought torrential downpours for the harness racing ladies at Dover Downs to contend with along with a tornado that touched down west of town.
Tuesday the temps dropped and the winds were gale force when the boys hit the track. All legs were $20K purses.
