Karen Walls’ Elite Awards was the fastest of three $20,000 divisional Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund winners for two-year-old pacing colts and geldings Tuesday at Harrington Raceway after a 1:56.3 triumph.

The Powerful Toy gelding was positioned second over by driver George Dennis as Forced Passage set fractions of :28.3, :58.4 and 1:27.4. Elite Awards appeared headstrong at times but gathered momentum under confident urging and surged three-wide near the top of the stretch and cruised to an open length win over Casino Bags Carlo and Bohemia. Trained by David Rearic, it was the second win in three career starts for Elite Awards. He paid $2.40.

Winbak Farm’s Hawker won his division in 1:56.4 for driver Jeff Fout. The Artzina gelding never had an anxious moment in his wire-to-wire win for trainer/driver Fout over Solace and Art Retreat. Hawker paid $2.10.

In an early non-wagering division, Lloyd Gilmour’s Above The Storm prevailed in 1:57 for driver John Wagner over Glow Again and Go Big Spinder. A son of Gamblers Dream, it was his first career win in six starts for trainer Jim Coughlin.

In the $19,000 Mares Open, North State Street Stable’s Monochromatic notched her 11th win of the year - matching her total from 2012 - with a 1:52.4 victory for driver Corey Callahan over Lorrie Please and Scarlet Pandemic. The eight-year-old Dream Away mare, who has banked more than $170,000 in 2013, was the pacesetter in her 44th career win. She paid $3.40.

Wednesday’s program will feature five divisions of the DSBF two-year-old trotters, beginning with two non wagering events at 4:30 p.m. The 15-race wagering card will commence at 5:30 p.m.
