Special T Rocks Sizzles At Harrington

Bill Sartin and Mark Salerno's Special T Rocks was a repeat winner in Monday's $17,500 Open at Harrington Raceway in 1:50.2 – the fastest mile of the season at Harrington - over a track rated ‘sloppy’.

Special T Rocks and driver Jim Morand seized the lead from Im Supersonic A at the quarter mile in :27.4. Arque Hanover, who was parked the mile, applied pressure through the half-mile in :55.1 before yielding to three-quarters in 1:23.1.

Poisonous forged a three-wide move but stalled and could not reel in Special T Rocks, who was three lengths the best. Arque Hanover was second with Poisonous third.

It was the 46th career win for Special T Rocks, a nine-year-old Rocknroll Hanover gelding trained by Joe Hundertpfund, Jr. The winner paid $11.00.

Art Stafford, Jr. had three wins on the program.
