DSBF: Vamoose remains unbeaten following Harrington win

Vamoose, with Eddie Dennis driving, set a Harrington track record on Wednesday, Oct. 7

HARRINGTON - Rodney Wyatt, Kevin Peck and E&K Stable's Vamoose ($2.40, Eddie Dennis) broke her own track record Wednesday, Oct. 7 with a 1:59 triumph in one of five $20,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders' Fund (DSBF) divisions for 2-year-old trotters at Harrington Raceway.

The Anders Bluestone filly is unbeaten in four career starts and was a one-length winner over Daringly and Franchesca for trainer/driver/co-owner Dennis.

The first DSBF split saw the same connections prevail with Amish Outlaw ($2.40, Dennis), who assumed command near the three-quarters and drew away from the field for an open length win over Let's Roll Nerds and Italian Royalty in 2:02.2. The EL Platinum gelding recorded his second career triumph for trainer/driver/co-owner Dennis, who had three driving wins on the program.

The next division for colts and geldings went to Michial and Linda English's Mike Franks ($3.60, Ross Wolfenden) in 2:00.2 over Platinum Ice and Lebanon Levii. The John Wilkerson-trainee was a front-end winner. A Southwind Frank gelding, he completed a sweep of his eliminations.

One race later, filly Leap Year ($6, Jason Thompson) was a 2:00.4 winner in blowout fashion for Burke Racing and Weaver Bruscemi. The Southwind Frank filly led most of the way and picked up her first career win in a seven-length romp over She Is Unstoppable and Dassie.

The final division on the card was for colts and geldings and heavily favored Blazing Tui ($2.10, Corey Callahan) didn't disappoint as the Yankee Royalty gelding notched his fourth straight win and remained unbeaten with a 1:59.2 win over Youcancallmeroy and Frosty Frank. The David Wiest-trained gelding was a two-length winner and figures to be among the top contenders in next week's final for co-owners Don and David Wiest. The trotting finals will take place Wednesday, Oct. 14, as the top eight point earners (Colts - Blazing Tui, Mike Frans, Amish Outlaw, Platinum Ice, Youcancallmeroy, Let's Roll Nerds, Cirocco, Lebanon Levii) (Fillies - Vamoose, Daringly, Leap Year, Franchesca, Dassie, She Is Unstoppable, Highball, Peach Crown) from the two elimination legs will return to compete in the $110,000 finals for each division. There will be $20,000 consolations for the next point earners for each sex.

Live racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule through Wednesday, Oct. 21, with a post time of 4:30 p.m.
