Harrington: Callahan tallies twice in Delaware Standardbred Breeders' Fund finals

Driver Corey Callahan guided filly trotter Tuis Star and gelding pacer C Millertimeagain to victories in their respective $110,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders' Fund finals for 3-year-olds on Thursday night at Harrington Raceway.

Tuis Star (paid $2.10 to win), a daughter of E L Platinum, got up late to edge pace-setter Emerys Angels (Art Stafford Jr.) by a nose in 1:59 4/5. Trainer David Wiest also bred Tuis Star with Edward Kimmel and now co-owns her with Donald Wiest.

C Millertimeagain (paid $3.60 to win) held sway on the front-end to fend off favorite Watch Em Win (Tim Tetrick) by three-quarters of a length in 1:52 2/5. The victorious Roddy's Bags Again gelding is trained by Molly Gara for owners Ervin Miller Stable Inc., Joellen Frawley and James Knowlton and was bred by Pamela Schoot.
