A trio of $27,027 first-round Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund (DSBF) events for two-year-old filly pacers headlined the Tuesday, Sept. 24 Harrington Raceway program.
Steve LeBlanc trainee Tilted Crown ($4, Russell Foster) won the first division in 1:58.2. The Royal Mattjesty filly was a wire-to-wire winner over Im Won Last Wiser and Krockpot Kate. It was the first career win for Tilted Crown, who is owned by LeBlanc Stable, William Lutz, Count De Money Stable and Douglas Johnson.
The second division went to Jo Ann Looney-King's Mimosa On The Key ($8.80, Ross Wolfenden) in 1:58.2. The Roddys Bags Again filly charged to the lead immediately when the gates closed and never had an anxious moment in her front-end triumph over Odds Beater and Mornin Merle. The winner is trained by Jim King Jr.
Donna Messick’s Little Miss Peyton ($2.60, Corey Callahan) was the fastest divisional winner with a 1:57.2 score in the final DSBF split for trainer Les Givens. The Papa Ray filly (pictured above) recorded her second career win as the heavy favourite over Infinite Wonders and Banana Cabana.
In the $30,405 Free-For-All Handicap for pacing mares, Majorca N ($7.40, Corey Callahan) led from start to finish in 1:53 over Incaseyoudidntknow and Odds On Hail Mary. The nine-year-old Art Major mare notched her sixth win of the season from 18 starts for trainer Dylan Davis, who co-owns with Mike Casalino Jr.
Trae Porter and Pat Berry each had three driving wins, while trainer Mike Hall also had a trio of victories.
Live harness racing at Harrington will continue on a Monday-through-Wednesday schedule until Oct. 23.
