Incaseyoudidntknow Sets Mares Record At Harrington
James Magno and Joseph Fonte's Incaseyoudidntknow ($5, Jim Morand) broke the track record for pacing mares on Tuesday (May 31) at Harrington Raceway with a dazzling 1:51 effort in a $13,500 conditioned event.
Morand guided the four-year-old Always B Miki mare immediately to the front from post two and set sizzling fractions of :26.4, :54.3 and 1:23 and was a dominant winner in track record time over Truth And Liberty and Western Secret A. The 1:51 clocking broke the previous mark of 1:51.2 co-held by Newborn Sassy and Jamies Renegade.
The win was the 10th lifetime for the Les Givens-trained Incaseyoudidntknow and her second straight over the half-mile oval. She has earned $126,811 from 30 starts in her career.
George and Tina Dennis' Feeling Sweet ($7.20, Mike Cole), captured the $20,000 Mares Open in 1:53 over A Delightful Act and Cruzinforavictory. The Joe Columbo trainee notched her fifth win of the year and boosted her seasonal bankroll over $150,000. Feeling Sweet fanned wide in the stretch and out-kicked her rivals for a narrow win.
Art Stafford Jr. and Montrell Teague each had a driving double.
Live harness racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule.
