Before the races Tim Tetrick signed autographs and meet his fans while handing out Tetrick 'bobble-heads' and then went out and drove four winners on the power-packed racing program.

Tetrick and Buck I St. Pat to an easy 1:53 track record just one-fifth second off the world record over a five-eights mile oval to win the $85,000 Classic Oaks.

The now five-year-old went right to the front and never was headed scoring her fourth victory of the year for owners Howard Taylor, Ed Gold, Abe Basen and Ron Fuller.

While setting the winning fractions, Tetrick driving the daughter of Jailhouse Jesse, Buck I St. Pat kept runner-up Snazzy Millie and John Campbell a length back challenging on the outside from the mid backstretch to the finish line. Speed N The Tunnel with Tony Morgan got up to finish third.

In the $85,000 Pacing Classic, Artistic Fella followed the cover of Manhardt and George Brennan testing front-pacing Total Truth and Brian Sears from the clubhouse turn until turning for home before Tim Tetrick unleashed the Pacific Fella five-year-old down the lane on the way to a 1:50.3 victory.

It was the 2007 Breeders Crown winner's first start off a 1:55-qualifying race at Spring Garden Range in South Florida.

Counting back to last Fall, Steve Elliott-trained Artistic Fella has now won his last four races in a row for owner Joe Alborano. Veteran Casimir Camotion rolled down the lane to finish second for Ron Pierce while Mr. Feelgood and Andy Miller were the show finishers.

My Little Dragon enjoyed a perfect two-hole trip racing behind odds-on favorite Southwind Tempo in the $85,000 Classic Distaff pace before exploding to victory.

John Campbell got Southwind Tempo away smartly and controlled the early fractions.

At the top of the stretch, Brian Sears took My Little Dragon to the outside and dashed past the leader in a 1:51.3 performance. Southwind Tempo held on for second with her entrymate Benear and Cat Manzi closing for third. Adam Victor & Son own My Little Dragon now a winner of nearly $1.6-million in purses.

The biggest surprise on the super-fast program came in the $85,000 Trotting Classic where 6-1 Enough Talk, a recent purchase by PKleinhans Racing Inc., could not be caught in a 1:52 gait-to-wire wining effort.

American Lane with Cat Manzi was the second-place finisher in front of Green Day and Tim Tetrick.

Race favorite, Vivid Photo got away near the back in the 10-horse field. Roger Hammer took the former Hambletonian and Trotting Classic champion to the outside, then weakened on the backstretch and finished off the board for one of the rare times in his career.

The biggest payoff came on the regular card in the $40,000 Open-Preferred Handicap when David Miller left quickly and never looked back steering WJ McDougall's Richard Henry N, a 13-1 shot from the rail, to a pulverizing 1:49.3 triumph. Armbro Baylor came on for Tony Morgan to finish second in front of Tim Tetrick-driven Sharky Osborne.

In the $37,500 Delaware Special Invitational Handicap, Ron Pierce sent Thin Blue Line, also owned by WJ McDougall and co-owned by Paul McDougall, along the passing lane to catch front pacing Rusty's For Real and Tim Tetrick and withstand Art Director closing with a rush for Brian Sears in deep stretch for a 1:50.3 victory.

Tetrick also drove Tamara Williams' Whistle Bear to a second straight win and third in four races, a 1:51 score in a $25,000 Winners-Over pace. Later Tetrick guided Larry Baron's JA's Outlaw to a 1:50.4 victory in a $24,000 Winners-Over pace, also a second straight and three of his last four outings.

Jim Morand pulled Winbak Farm's Classic Card Shark to the outside in the stretch and zoomed to a 1:52.2 lifetime best in the $23,000 Winners-Over.

Ron Pierce steered the first of his two wins behind Greg Avis' Heavenly Flight home in 1:54.2 to win a $21,000 Male pace.

While Tetrick reached the winners circle four times, David Miller had a triple and Ron Pierce and Tony Morgan registered driving doubles.
