Harrington: Lg's Reed O Wen lowers track record in DSBF final

Lg's Reed O Wen ($5.40, Jim Morand) and Just Pump It ($20.60, Art Stafford Jr.) won their respective $100,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) finals for 2-year-old trotters on Wednesday at Harrington Raceway.
A new track record for rookie trotting geldings was set when Nanticoke Racing's LG's Reed O Wen marched to the front from post position seven and never relented in a seven length romp. He tallied in a lifetime-best of 1:59 4/5 over Canoe Trip and Wolfpack Russ. The Anders Bluestone gelding notched his fourth win in six career starts for trainer Les Givens. The old track record of 2:00 3/5 was held by Egosnattitudes (2014).
In the filly trotting final, Art Stafford and Art Stafford Jr.'s Just Pump It led most of the way despite starting from post position eight and was a one length winner in 2:03 over Our Last Penny and Miss Timber Wolf. The CR Commando filly registered her second lifetime win for her trainer/driver/co-owner Stafford Jr.
In the $15,000 consolation for colts and geldings, Brenda Teague's Tua ($3.40, Montrell Teague) was a 2:02 1/5 winner.
