For the third straight night at Harrington Raceway, Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) horses headlined the program. Three-year-old pacing fillies were in action in three $20,000 eliminations, however, driver Ross Wolfenden stole the sophomore pacers’ thunder by winning eight races on the Harrington program - a track record for a 13-race card.
One of Wolfenden’s wins came with DSBF pacing filly Heres My Ticket ($2.20), who was an overwhelming favourite and raced like it in her two-length win over Macs Journey and Anns Obsession in the final DSBF elimination in 1:56.2.
Owned and trained by Eli Scott, the Three Olives filly was never headed in her wire-to-wire win. She was the fastest of the three divisional winners.
Wolfenden win’s parade began with a win in the second race with TEs Cammie ($2.40), one of three winners trained by John Cabot. He followed it up with a win in the fourth race with Funtime Filly ($13.20). He then won with Touch the Clouds ($12.80) in the sixth race and Liqueur ($4.60) in the eighth race. Dreamluck ($2.40) gave Wolfenden his fifth win on the program in the ninth race, before winning the next three races with Best Route ($18), Heres My Ticket ($2.20) and Keystone Rhythm ($2.20).
Norma Messick and Tim Torbert’s Roddys Girl ($3.20, Vince Copeland, 1:57.1) and Ed Walls’ Designer Bags ($11.40, Allan Davis, 1:57.1) captured the remaining two DSBF splits, respectively.
The pacing fillies will return to compete in round two of DSBF action on June 12 before the $100,000 Final event on July 26.
