Killer Stripes Remains Unbeaten06/13/2023 5:34 PM -
Andrew Stafford, Thomas Ireland and Bonnie Benson's Killer Stripes ($3.20, Art Stafford Jr.) was the fastest of two $20,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) 3-year-old pacing filly winners Tuesday at Harrington Raceway and remained unbeaten in her young career.
Killer Stripes overcame post seven early to make a comfortable lead, where she would stay throughout as Hold My Wine gained first over and pressed the leader gamely in the stretch but would come up a head short at the wire. Killer Stripes notched her 4th straight win for trainer and co-owner Andrew Stafford. The Badlands Hanover filly has banked $80,000 lifetime and was 3-for-3 in her freshman campaign last season.
Stephen Messick's Misty Coast ($2.20, Art Stafford Jr.) prevailed in the 2nd split, off an overland trip where she surged on the final turn and was a 3-length winner Kims Secret Search and No Gel Nikki for her 9th career win. The Powerful Mist filly was a 1:56.4 winner for trainer Les Givens.
In the overnight feature, the $20,000 Mares Open, James Magno and Joseph Fonte's Incaseyoudidn'tknow ($5.40, Jim Morand) was a 1:51.4 winner over Divine Deo and Feeling Sweet. It was the 5th win of the season for the 5-year-old Always B Miki mare trained by Les Givens.
Pat Berry, Allan Davis and Art Stafford Jr. each had 3 wins on the card.
