Dover, DE — The Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund spotlights four $20,000 3-year-old filly pace first leg preliminary divisions on Tuesday (March 28) at Dover Downs.

The races are led by the first, second and third place finishers in last fall’s $100,000 final. Logan’s Girl was the winner, upsetting favorite Spanish Dream, who finished third with Magicinthemoonlite second.

Logan’s Girl won seven of nine starts last year, winning $147,840 in purses. She is fresh from a 1:53.1 victory in a prep last week. Vic Kirby will drive for trainer Jim King and owner JoAnn Looney-King in the opening section. Scott Woogen’s KJ Dale, a freshman prelim winner and third in the consolation, is in the hands of Tim Tetrick. Thomson Sisters Racing’s Free Flight Fran is another contender.

The second $20,000 DSBF event finds Mangicinthemoonlite and Tetrick leaving from the outside for trainer Arlene Cameron and owners Linda Condor and Kevin Freeman. She meets George Teague’s Bad Mama with Montrell Teague from the rail. She’s No Spinster had a pair of prelim wins in November for owners Richard Ashley, Michael Cain, Kevin Yenser and Allan Davis.

George Leader’s Diva Demands is fresh from a win last week at Rosecroft and will be driven by meet leader Corey Callahan in the third $20,000 leg. JoAnn Looney-King’s Lillisbagsrpacked with Vic Kirby and breeder, owner and trainer Virginia Louthan’s Giga Spin head the opposition.

The final DSBF prelim is led by Spanish Dream. The King owned and trained filly will have Vic Kirby driving from post one. Joel and Dianne Halpern’s homebred Westwind Roddylee and Tim Tetrick and George Teague’s I Won Them Both with Montrell Teague are the major challengers.

The DSBF second leg prelims are set for next week.
