Harrington, DE – Forrest Bartlett’s Primo Maschio ($2.10, Trae Porter) completed a sweep of his 2-year-old Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) $20,000 divisions Monday (Sept. 30) at Harrington Raceway in 1:55.4 to remain unbeaten.
The Kevin Lare-trainee and Badlands Hanover gelding was an easy winner on the front end and has won all seven career starts. Lew Not Lou was second with Strange Brew third.
The second DSBF split also went to the favorite, as George and Tina Dennis ($2.10, Montrell Teague) overcame an early miscue to prevail in 1:57.4 over Shore Not Beach and Badlands Boogie.
