The Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) spotlight shines on colts with three paces and two trots on Sunday at Dover Downs.
The headliner of $20,000 DSBF colt pace prelims comes in the 10th race. Rays Big Bubba (Ross Wolfenden) has won five times, including a 1:51.3 triumph last time, Mr. Wiggles (Corey Callahan) has four wins for Elmer Fannin and George Teague Jr. Stiles, Bosch and Wagner's Brite Toy (George Dennis) was a winner last time out.
The DSBF events begin with the first $20,000 trot prelim. Ruby Ransom, owned by Ed Maas and Nanticoke Racing, with Brandon Givens driving, winner of the DSBF $100,000 final at Harrington in October, is the one to beat in the first division. Tony Poliseno's Collect The Brass (Carlo Poliseno) drew the rail while Arlie Tinder's Boss Commando (Vic Kirby) and Wishwell Bigmo (Jonathan Roberts) racing for Herman and Lynn Drenth, are the chief adversaries.
The second trot elim is led by Tom O. Lail's Special Command (Roger Plant), Sherrie and Blake Baker's Bakermill Blake (Bob Shahan) and Outdoor Action (Eddie Davis Jr.), owned by Bobby and Macey Mae Myers.
Two of the eight starters in other DSBF colt pace turned in impressive wins last week. John Celii and Teague Inc.'s Gee Im Bad (Jim Morand) won in 1:56.3 while Jeff Bartels' Sgt Charlie (Corey Callahan) was even faster winning in 1:54.1.
The other DSBF pace is led by Bob Collins' With A Twist (Plante) a winner of both of his starts. Bad Blood George (Tony Morgan) has been in the money in all six-lifetime stats for Bob and Greg Laham and Crystal Ball Stable.
