?q=100)
Hold My Wine ($5.60, Montrell Teague) and Killer Stripes ($2.10, Art Stafford Jr.) won their respective $20,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund eliminations for 3-year-old pacing fillies Tuesday at Harrington Raceway.
Owned by George and Tina Dennis, Hold My Wine, a daughter of Badlands Hanover, stalked pace-setter Misty Coast throughout before surging by in the stretch in 1:54 3/5 for trainer Joe Columbo. Misty Coast was second with Kims Secret Search third. It was the fifth win of the season for Hold My Wine, and all her triumphs have come at Harrington.
The second split went to heavily-favored Killer Stripes for owners Andrew Stafford, Thomas Ireland and Bonnie Benson. She was a dominant 1:57 3/5 winner over Chatty Kathleen and Direct Mist. The Badlands Hanover filly improved to five-for-five in her career for trainer and co-owner Stafford.
Tony Morgan won five races, while Montrell Teague had three wins on the card.
