David Banks’ Ragtime Red ($21.40, Allan Davis) won her 5th straight race in the $18,000 Fillies and Mares Open in 1:54.3 Tuesday at Harrington Raceway.
The Getitoffyourchest filly recorded her 14th career win for trainer Don Brittingham. She was a Maryland Sire Stakes champion at 2 and 3. Lofty Treasure inherited the lead after race favorite Incaseyoudidntknow (Jim Morand) made an equipment-related break near the half-mile and scattered the field. Ragtime Red eventually ended up in the pocket and edged out Lofty Treasure for the win. Melody Hanover was third.
Trainer Andrew Stafford and his brother, driver Art Stafford Jr. teamed up for wins in the first two races with Kissin Joe N ($2.40) and Win With Lynnly ($3.20). Stafford Jr. had 5 wins on the card, including 3 for his brother, while Davis and Morand had a double.
