Breakaway Racing and Yorwollahan Racing’s Speed Away ($5.40, Corey Callahan) was a 1:56.1 winner in the $22,500 Open Trot Wednesday at Harrington Raceway.
Baby Boy (Ross Wolfenden), at 3-to-1, took the lead immediately from post four and cruised through fractions of 28.2, 58 and 1:26.4 while opening up a 3 length lead at the top of the stretch that would quickly diminish late as a hard charging Speed Away nailed him at the wire for his 33rd career win. Speed Away, an 8-year-old Father Patrick gelding, notched his 9th win of the year for trainer Nick Callahan. The former Harrington horse of the meet has won 20 races over the half-mile racetrack in his terrific career, where he’s amassed more than $605,000 in lifetime earnings. It was one of 3 wins on the card for Corey Callahan.
Dreamville Stable’s Dyladmar ($2.60, Russell Foster) was a 1:57.1 winner in the $18,000 Open 2 Handicap for trainer Jay Gannon.
Driver Brandon Givens also had 3 wins on the card, as did trainer Chuck Crissman Jr, who had a pair of winners for owner Barbara Boese. Eddie Dennis had a trainer/driver double.
The September 28-30 week of racing at Harrington will be headlined by the first leg of Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) action for 2-year-olds, featuring $20,000 divisions nightly. The top 8-point earners from each division will return to compete in the $110,000 finals on October 12-14.
