Harrington, DE – Rich Ashley and Michael Cain’s Steven’s Saloon ($6, Jason Thompson) was a 1:52 winner in the $22,500 Open Pace Monday (May 11) at Harrington Raceway.
After getting his first post inside the seven hole in the last three starts, Thompson guided the 5-year-old Always B Miki gelding to his third win of the season off a second-over trip, behind a lively pace set by Armada Hanover. Thompson and Steven’s Saloon made a three-wide move behind stale cover near three-quarters, and he quickly matched strides with Armada Hanover before pulling away for an open length win. Armada Hanover was a game second with T Dog third. The win put Steven’s Saloon’s seasonal earnings just shy of $100,000 for trainer Joe Hundertpfund Jr.
Thompson had a driving double on the card, while Tony Morgan had three winners.
Live racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule, post time 4:30 p.m.
