Monday proved to be "Miller Time" at Harrington Raceway as C Millertimeagain upended 1-9 favourite Watch Em Win in the $154,930 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund Stakes final for two-year-old colt and gelding pacers at Harrington Raceway on Oct. 20.
The Roddys Bags Again-Total Conviction gelding utilized his rail post to set the early fractions of :28.1 and :56.2 with driver Corey Callahan. Watch Em Win (Tim Tetrick) moved first-over from third at three-quarters in 1:24.3, but came up a neck short of a game C Millertimeagain, who scored his second career victory in 1:53.1. Slugger On Deck (Allan Davis) was third.
C Millertime Again is trained and co-owned by Erv Miller of Wind Gap, Pennsylvania along with Joellen Frawley and James Knowlton of Richland Center, Wisconsin. C Millertimeagain was named in honour of Christian Miller, who passed away near the time of his namesake's birth at Homestead Acres.
Jo Ann Looney-King and Gary Mc McCandless's Hes Peeping ($9, Jason Thompson) won the $28,169 DSBF consolation for two-year-old pacing colts and geldings in 2:00.1 over K Ds Song (Montrell Teague) and Arette (Allan Davis). The Hes Watching-Tipton Teeez gelding notched his first career win for trainer Jim King Jr., and overcame post eight with a solid steer from Thompson, who won both halves of the daily double and had three wins on the card. The meet’s leading driver, Montrell Teague, also had three wins.
