Speed Away Highlights Callahan's Seven-Win Day
Driver Corey Callahan had seven wins on the Wednesday, Sept. 18 card at Harrington Raceway, including Speed Away ($8.80) in the $30,405 Free-For-All Handicap Trot.
Callahan and Speed Away collared pacesetter Swan In Motion on the final turn and held off Not For Moni and Sinatra De Vie, who rounded out the trifecta, for the 1:55.3 victory. Owned by Breakaway Racing and Yorwollahan Racing, the six-year-old Father Patrick-All The Time gelding earned his fifth win of the year from 16 starts and now has 15 career victories.
Callahan had the hot hand on Wednesday's 15-race card, as the meet’s second-leading driver behind Montrell Teague also piloted Cattleshark ($2.10), Forbidden Treasure ($7.40), Lizzy Lauxmont ($7.60), Cowboy Cargo ($2.60), Going Platinum ($3.80) and dead-heat winner Some Kinda Crazy ($3.80) to victories.
Speedy Away and Going Platinum are both trained by Callahan's father, Nick.
Live harness racing will continue at Harrington on a Monday through Wednesday schedule through Oct. 23, with post time at 4:30 p.m. Two-year-old Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) stakes will headline the action next week (Sept. 23-25).
