Legacy Racing of Delaware's Cinder Rock won the $100,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund Final for three-year-old pacing fillies Tuesday (July 7) at Harrington Raceway in 1:54.4.
The Rockabillie-Armbro Cinderella filly held off a game Shes Got The Lynx, who sat second much of the mile, to win by a head. Sweet Lil was third.
Cinder Rock made a quarter pole move to the front and never looked back in her eighth win in 10 starts. Trained by Wayne Givens, Cinder Rock was the two-year-old DSBF champ as well and has banked more than $200,000 in her career. The three-year-old pacing filly final also honoured the memory of driver-trainer Ben Stafford Jr., who passed away in 2016. He was a regular on the Delaware racing circuit who won nearly 700 races as a driver and campaigned several top local horses in the DSBF program like Badlands Jenna and Badlands And Art.

George Teague Jr.'s My Last Bet ($12.60, Montrell Teague) won the $12,000 Mares Open in a lifetime best 1:52.3. The Delmarvalous four-year-old mare set all the fractions in her narrow win over Dibaba N and Moments of Joy for trainer Clyde Francis.
