Barbara Boese’s Fashion Astral broke the track record for three-year-old trotters Thursday at Harrington Raceway with a 1:56.1 victory in a conditioned event.
Trained and driven by Carlo Poliseno, the Broadway Hall colt left the gate from post four and immediately seized the front end where he would set fractions of :28.2, :57.2, and 1:27 before drawing away by open lengths from second-place finisher Miss Accomack.
Fashion Astral scored an impressive 1:58 win on September 6 in his Harrington debut. Fashion Astral, who was purchased in July, notched his third win of the year and boosted his lifetime bankroll to nearly $125,000.
The previous track record for three-year-old trotters was held by Tough Challenger (1:57.1).
Eddie Davis, Jr. had three winners on the program.
