Harrington, DE — George Brem, Mike Nichols and Robert McGee’s Jett Away equaled the track record for four-year-old pacing mares on Tuesday with a 1:54 win in Harrington Raceway’s featured $15,000 Filly and Mare Open Pace. Harrington Raceway Photo Jett Away is alone at the wire in the Tuesday feature at Harrington. Trainer/driver Bret Brittingham pulled the Dream Away mare first over on the backstretch after the dueling Crossfire N and Cams Little Imp N fought to the half mile, with Crossfire N falling in the two hole leaving Jett Away uncovered, where she would begin to wear down the leader and draw clear by three lengths.
It was her sixth win of the year as she pushed her lifetime earnings over $100,000.
Carol Karter’s Kadijah (Steve Warrington) won the sub-featured winners over pace for distaffers, covering the one and one-sixteenth mile distance in 2:013 for trainer Kevin Lare.
Racing continues Wednesday with the $18,500 Open Trot headlining the program. Post time is 5:30 p.m.
