Slick Tony notches 12th seasonal win

Harrington, DE — George Leager’s Slick Tony ($2.20, Russell Foster) notched his 12th seasonal win Monday (Oct. 14) in the featured $17,000 Open Pace at Harrington Raceway in 1:52.

Sent off as the 1-9 favorite, Slick Tony did not disappoint his backers. After taking the lead from Allwillworkout near the opening quarter-mile in :27.2, Slick Tony marched to the half-mile in :56 and three-quarters in 1:24.2 as first-over attacker Star Messenger retreated. When the field of six hit the stretch, Slick Tony maintained a comfortable advantage and was three-quarters of a length ahead at the wire of Allwillworkout as Little Ben gained late for third.

Trained by his owner, Slick Tony is a 4-year-old No Spin Zone stallion who has been the scourge of the Open pacing ranks on the Delaware circuit this season, banking $166,014 in 2019, which ranks him among the top 15 in the country for older pacers.

Corey Callahan had four wins on the card. Mike Cole had a double.
