Harrington wasted no time getting started as he won the opener, a $3,800 distaff conditioned pace, with Dont Sweeten It in 1:58.3. Scoring from post four, Harrington had the 10-year-old Dontgetinmyway mare first-up at the three-quarters to ultimately catch the pacesetting Royalty Again (Nick Graffam) at the finish line. Dont Sweeten It, who is owned by Melvin Grand and paid $5.20 to win, gave trainer Sara Gibbs her first of three victories on the card.

Harrington snagged the early double, scoring with 3-year-old American Maverick in a wire-to-wire 1:59 romp for trainer Patricia Sumner and Leighton Property. The former Maine Standardbred Breeders Stakes standout took on the transition to racing against older horses with ease.

Harrington did not have any drives in the following three races, but he came right back and won the sixth, seventh and eighth races with I Saw Red ($12.20), Saratoga Liz ($18.40) and Dreamfair Fantasy ($7.00), respectively.

Drew Campbell scored a driving double on the card.

Racing continues at First Tracks Cumberland on Wednesday (Nov. 17) with a full 10-race card kicking off at 11 a.m. with a $6,000 Winners Over Pace. For more information, go to firsttrackscumberland.com.
