Rod Allen Inc.'s Zulu ($5.40) and Linda MacDonald's Stella A ($21.20) won their respective $100,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) finals for three-year-old trotters on Wednesday (July 8) at Harrington Raceway.

In the male division, Zulu went off as the 8-5 second choice and took advantage of miscues by fellow contenders Touch Of White, Riddle Me This, Rocky Bomber and Master Of Mine to prevail in wire-to-wire fashion in 1:59 in line to trainer Rod Allen. The CR Commando-CR Penny Lane gelding notched his sixth career win as his lifetime earnings soared over $100,000. Air Time was second, and Rocky Bomber recovered from an early break to finish third.

Meanwhile in the filly final, Stella A corraled early leader Orabelle near the three-quarters after a powerful first-over brush and never relented in a one-length score over Happy To Do It and Emmys Mayflower. The Anders Bluestone-Mocha filly notched her fourth career win for trainer Joe MacDonald. It was one of three wins on the card for driver Ross Wolfenden.

Stella A's winning time of 1:57.4 tied the DSBF stakes mark for three-year-old fillies set by Callmemza in 2015.

Allan Davis, Mike Cole and Art Stafford Jr. had two wins apiece. Joe Columbo and Andrew Stafford each had training doubles.

Live racing at Harrington continues July 13 through 15 before a summer hiatus, after which the schedule will resume on Aug. 17.
