Speed Away Notches 16th Win At Harrington

Breakaway Racing and Yorwollohan Racing’s Speed Away ($4.20, Corey Callahan) was a 1:55.2 winner in the $22,500 Open Trot Wednesday at Harrington Raceway.

The early action saw Dyladmar, sent off at 2-to-1, march to the lead from post five and set fractions of 28.3, 58 and 1:26.4 before Speed Away challenged gamely first over on the final turn and edged clear in the stretch for his 4th win of the year for trainer Nick Callahan. The 8-year-old Father Patrick recorded his 3rd win of the meet and 4th this year. The veteran trotter has amassed 28 career wins and earned over $505,000 in his career. The former track horse of the meet has displayed a special affinity for Delaware’s half-mile racetrack, where he’s won 16 races in his career. The win was part of a three-win night for driver Corey Callahan, including two for his father.

On the undercard, Vince Bradley and Keesha Givens’ Legacy’s Jailbreak ($6.40, Brandon Givens) won her second straight race for her new barn in a $14,500 conditioned trot in 1:55.2. Givens joined Troy Beyer with a driving triple.

Live racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule (post time 4:30 p.m.).
