The streaking Hawaiian Warfare ($6.40, Mike Cole) was a 1:56.1 winner in the $157,143 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) final for two-year-old pacing colts and geldings Monday (Oct. 12) at Harrington Raceway.

Leaving from post seven, driver Mike Cole landed Hawaiian Warfare in fourth early while Bootcamp Baby (Allan Davis) cut the opening quarter in :28.1. After the opening half in :57, Hawaiian Warfare had moved into third on the outside at three-quarters in 1:26.3. Hawaiian Warfare put away Bootcamp Baby in the lane, before fending off a late bit by 74-1 shot, See Jack Run (Ros Wolfenden) to win by a neck in 1:56.1. Aeneas (Montrell Teague) was third, just three parts of a length back at 27-1.

The Erin Neilson trainee has won seven straight after his only career defeat in his maiden voyage. Forrest Bartlett of Shiloh, NC, bred and owns Hawaiian Warfare, with the U S Captain-Ukulele Blue Chip gelding banking $140,648 lifetime.

In the $32,143 Open Pace, the same connections teamed up for a 1:51.4 victory with Primo Maschio ($3, Montrell Teague) to give Bartlett and Neilson a double. The four-year-old Badlands Hanover-Primadonna gelding set the fractions from post two of :27.4, :55.4 and 1:24 en route to a one length victory. Mr Three O Five (Pat Berry) was second, with The Dragon Reborn (Allan Davis) finishing third.  

It was the fourth win of the season for Primo Maschio, and 23rd lifetime for the career earner of $674,594.

Earlier on the card, DMs Delight ($47.40, Brandon Givens) won the $28,571 DSBF two-year-old colt and gelding consolation in 1:58.1. The Highalator gelding scored his first career triumph for trainer Les Givens. It was one of three driving wins on the card for the meet’s leading driver, Brandon Givens.

The DSBF finals continue to headline the Oct. 12-14 week of racing at Harrington, with the filly pacing final on tap for Tuesday (Oct. 13) and trotting finals scheduled for Wednesday (October 14). Post time is 4:30 p.m.
