DSBF 3-year-old stakes headline week at Harrington

Harrington, DE —– The Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund stakes for 3-year-olds will headline the June 14-16 week of racing at Harrington Raceway.

The male pacers will compete in three divisions Monday, female pacers in three divisions Tuesday and both sexes of trotters in five divisions on Wednesday. Each split goes for a purse of $20,000 in the two weeks of eliminations with the $100,000 finals to be contested on July 29 during the Delaware State Fair.

A pair of DSBF 2-year-old champs will square off in the second male pacing division Monday as MST Racing and George Teague Jr.’s Subban (4-1, Montrell Teague), a Southwind Lynx gelding who won last year’s $100,000 final at Harrington for trainer Clyde Francis, will battle a deep field that includes the Dover Downs final champ in Henry Farragalli III, Nanticoke Racing and Albert Feeney’s Downtown Show (3-2, Allan Davis). A son of Delmarvalous for trainer Les Givens, he already has two wins in his sophomore campaign.

Leonard Hubbard’s Z’s Dream (5-2, Art Stafford Jr.), a son of Dream Away, won four of 10 races as a freshman and figures to be one of the major players in the division for trainer Andrew Stafford.

Tuesday’s filly pacing divisions are stout with the stiffest split being in the sixth race, as Roddy’s Bags Again-sired Littlebagoftricks (7-5, Russell Foster) and Tobago Cays-sired Tobago Time (8-5, Pat Berry) will square off.

Owned by Rich Lombardo Racing, Charles Cochran III and trainer Josh Green, Littlebagoftricks won four of six as a 2-year-old and banked $89,000, while Frank Chick and David Hamm’s Tobago Time already has two wins under her belt at 3 and was a DSBF consolation winner at 2 for trainer Kevin Lare.

Wednesday is trot night which marks the stakes return of Bobby Myers’ Big Al M (Eddie Davis Jr.), a son of Anders Bluestone who dominated the colt and gelding ranks at 2, winning five of seven and banking $136,092. His chief rival, Don and David Wiest’s Keystone Activator-sired Rhett (Corey Callahan) is back and drew in with him in the first division on the card, slated as the second race on the 15-race program.

The filly trot division is headed by Thestable Jazzy Judy Group’s Jazzy Judy (Anthony MacDonald), a daughter of Political Briefing who won three of six at 2 for trainer Jim King Jr. and is fresh off a pair of blowout qualifiers.

Racing will be conducted on a Monday through Wednesday schedule until June 23, when racing will be on Mondays and Tuesdays until July 6, when the customary summer break will commence prior to the Delaware State Fair. Post time nightly is 4:30 p.m.
