Dover, DE — The Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund spotlights 2-year-old filly pacers on Tuesday (Nov. 21) with two $20,000 first leg preliminaries at Dover Downs. Post time is 4:30 p.m.

Both first leg winners — Gracefullyforgiven and Go Sandy Go — meet in the sixth race, the first of two $20,000 DSBF prelims.

Gracefullyforgiven, a winner of all five of her races, was an easy 1:54.2 winner last week with Art Stafford Jr. driving for owner-breeders Jeff and David Clark.

Go Sandy Go made a successful debut in DSBF action last time out, winning her maiden start, also in 1:54.2, with Jason Green in the bike. Brent Outten and trainer Josh Green own the Roddy’s Bags Again-Bit Of Trick filly.

After two legs, the top eight DSBF point getters make the $100,000 finals for colt and filly trotters and pacers next Thursday (Nov. 30), on a card with the $300,000 (est.) Hap Hansen Progress Pace for 3-year-olds.

On Tuesday the regular card feature is a $25,000 Open Handicap Trot with mares assigned inside posts.

Dover Downs now features a 50-cent Pick-5 wager starting with the second race through the sixth. A late daily double is carded for the 12th and 13th races.
