Later on the card, Harrington’s longest standing track record was equaled as 2-year-old pacing filly Ireneonthemove stopped the timer at 1:57.2, keeping her racing record unblemished at a perfect 2-for-2. The Powerful Toy filly is owned by Rodney Wyatt and trained by Jason Skinner. Driven by Kevin Sizer, she led virtually every call for the three length triumph. Ironically, she equaled All American Mocha’s record eight years to the date, which was set on September 1, 1997 .

Racing resumes Sunday with a 5:30 p.m. post time.
