Harrington Raceway hosted its annual Governor’s Day card during the Delaware State Fair Thursday, featuring more than $600,000 in total purses over 13 races.

 The annual program is a focal point for many Delaware horsemen, as a showcase of The First State’s top standardbreds as every horse on the program is either Delaware owned and/or Delaware bred.

 The coveted $40,000 Governor’s Cup is a sought after title for older horses and was won for the second straight year by Foulk Stables’ Sparky Mark ($45.80, Jon Roberts) via a pocket trip over Captive Audience and Tip It On Back. The 10-year-old Astreos stallion registered his 58^th career win for trainer Trish Foulk. Governor John Carney was on hand to participate in the winner’s circle ceremonies.

 Four $100,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund final races for 3-year-olds were much anticipated after two elimination legs were completed in June.

 Perhaps the most stirring finish came in the male pacing final as Bags To Riches ($8.20, Tim Tetrick) overcame an overland trip in which he was parked the mile to outlast Automatic Dragon and Daiymir. Trained by co-owner Jason Skinner for Only Money Inc., it was the seventh win of the year for the Roddy’s Bags Again colt, who completed a sweep of DSBF final events this year.

 Jo Ann Looney-King’s Logan’s Girl ($4.40, Victor Kirby) was an easy winner in the filly pacing final for trainer Jim King Jr. in 1:53.4. Spanish Dream was second with Lunar Phase third. A daughter of Roddy’s Bags Again, “Logan” recorded her 13^th lifetime win. The race honored the memory of the late Ben Stafford Jr., a well-liked Delaware horseman who passed away in 2016.

 The filly trotting final, named the Jack Walls Memorial, was won in dominant fashion by Nanticoke Racing and Delbert Cain’s Spoonful ($2.40, Corey Callahan) in 2:01.3 over Gogh Cinorita and Willow Mill Anna. Trained by Les Givens, the political briefing filly set all the fractions in her ninth career win, the 28^th career DSBF final win for Givens. Walls was the former president of Harrington Raceway, who passed away in 2003.

 Ben Brooks’ Master Clave ($2.10, Ross Wolfenden) notched his 11^th career win in the male trotting final for trainer John Wilkerson, who won two races on the program. The Master Lavec gelding took the lead in deep stretch to complete a sweep of 3-year-old DSBF finals. Command The Fire was second with Jiggs third. The race was named in memory of former trainer/driver Hal Belote, who was tragically killed in a racing accident.
