Wehadababyetzaboy ($3.40) was a dominant winner despite post eight in the $31,250 Open Pace Monday (Aug. 17) at Harrington Raceway in 1:52.4, part of a seven win night for his driver Brandon Givens.

In the feature, race favourite Wehadababyetzaboy made the lead at the opening quarter in :28 and never looked back, posting middle-half fractions of :56 and 1:25 before winning by 2-1/2 lengths over Saulsbrook Genesis (Corey Callahan) while Back Pocket Miki (Cody Peliseno) and Proper One (Mike Cole) were in a dead-heat for third. 

Trained by Chuck Crissman Jr., it was his 10th win of the year and second straight victory for Wehadababyetzaboy after winning the $70,423 Governor’s Cup at Harrington during the Delaware State Fair. The seven-year-old Sweet Lou gelding has banked just shy of $679,659 in his career for owner EVM Racing of Middletown, DE.

The win was the exclamation point on a big night for Givens, who won five of the first six races on the program, including a pair for his father, trainer Les Givens. His victories outside of the feature came aboard Idrinkniknowthings ($2.20), Miss Calamity Jane ($6.80), Roman Raider ($2.20), Salazar Hanover ($5.60), Jasper Hill ($4.80) and Free Flying Freddy ($4.80).

Live racing will continue on a Monday and Tuesday schedule until a three-day schedule will resume on Aug. 31.
