Beca Mitchell Scores In Mares Open

Andrew Glassmeyer’s Beca Mitchell ($6.20, Montrell Teague) was a 1:53.4 winner in the $22,500 Mares Open Tuesday at Harrington Raceway.

The 6-year-old Sportswriter mare notched her 5th win of the season off a pocket trip where she was a neck the best over Lofty Treasure and Jett Propelled. Trained by her owner, it was her 22nd career win.

In the 2nd race, John Pyott’s 7-year-old Dream Away mare Miss B Dreamin ($8.60, Mike Cole) broke an 0-for-58 skid with a 1:58.3 maiden win. Cole guided the mare wide in mid-stretch where she was full of pace and surged to the lead for her first career score.

With one night remaining in the meet, the race for leading trainer remains a close one as Chuck Crissman has a 2-win lead over reigning champ Joe Columbo.

Brandon Givens and Art Stafford Jr. each had 3 wins on the card.

The final night of racing for Harrington’s 80th anniversary season is Wednesday (October 21). Post time is 4:30 p.m.
