For the two $20,000 divisions of the Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund Stakes for three-year-old fillies it was déjà vu Monday as the winners from last week repeated this week.
The first early non-wagering race went to Emmys Mayflower (Anders Bluestone-Stirling Charisma) for driver Russell Foster in 1:56.4. She is trained by Russell’s uncle, Eric Foster who is also the breeder and owner. Second was Harrington final winner, Stella A followed by Katies Blu Diamond.
The second division went to Happy To Do It (Anders Bluestone-Little Miss Tagliabue) and driver Jonathan Roberts in 1:57.4. She is trained and owned by Bobby Glassmeyer. The breeders were Linda MacDonald and Susan Durham, owners of Merrie Medo Farm where Anders Bluestone stands. Second was Blue Carats and the show was Orabelle.
The $100,000 final will be Thursday, December 17 to the highest point earners. They are Emmys Mayflower, Happy To Do It, Stella A, Dabigspooky Bootah, Katies Blu Diamond, Orabelle and Wolfcat.
To those who didn’t make the final there will be a $15,000 consolation offered combined with the colts and geldings who didn’t earn their way to the final.
