Through his 2- and 3-year-old seasons, the GTY Stable homebred Gaitway Guy competed in 12 Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund (DSBF) races — and won all of them. He completed his state-restricted stakes campaign on Thursday (Dec. 14) at Bally’s Dover with a 1:54.2 win in the $110,000 DSBF series final for 3-year-old male pacers, and in doing so he became the 10th horse in the 22-season history of the DSBF to sweep all four championships.
