Harrington, DE — Andrew Glassmeyer’s Beca Mitchell ($6.20, Montrell Teague) was a 1:53.4 winner in Tuesday’s (Oct. 20) $22,500 Mares Open Pace at Harrington Raceway.
The 6-year-old Sportswriter mare notched her fifth win of the season off a pocket trip, where she was a neck the best over Lofty Treasure and Jett Propelled.
It was the 22nd career win for Beca Mitchell, who is trained by her owner.
In the second 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 two-win lead over reigning champ Joe Columbo.
Brandon Givens and Art Stafford Jr. each had three driving wins on the card.
The final night of racing for Harrington’s 80th anniversary season is Wednesday (Oct. 21). Post time is 4:30 p.m.
