J&T Davis’ Swan Flyer ($12.00, Allan Davis) had an auspicious Delaware debut as he prevailed in 1:54 in the featured $30,405 Free-For-All Trot on Wednesday (Aug. 28) at Harrington Raceway.
Recently acquired from New York by trainer Tyler Davis, Swan Flyer marched to the lead from post position four and held off a late bid from Gotta Habit and Swan In Motion for his sixth win of the year and boosted his seasonal earnings to over $150,000. A five-year-old Swan For All gelding, Swan Flyer assumed command from Gotta Habit at the quarter-mile mark and never relinquished the lead en route to achieving his 18th career win.
Driver Corey Callahan, trainer/co-owner Dylan Davis and co-owner Mike Casalino took both halves of the daily double to start the card as both Cowboy Cargo ($2.10) and trotter Darbyshire ($2.10) were easy winners.
Callahan and Allan Davis each drove three winners on the card. All of Allan Davis’ wins were for his son, trainer Tyler Davis. Tony Morgan recorded a driving double.
Live racing will continue on a Monday-through-Wednesday schedule through Oct. 23. Daily post time is 4:30 p.m.
