Harrington: Warren's Charm tallies in her DSBF final

Rodney Wyatt and Jason Skinner's Warren's Charm ($14.80, Art Stafford Jr.) was a 1:55 4/5 winner in the $110,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) 2-year-old pacing filly final at Harrington Raceway Tuesday.

The He's Watching filly tucked in third early from post seven before pressing leader Burlesque Belle at three-quarters and drawing off for a five length win. Race favorites Odds On Put Option and Just Applause both went off-stride early in the mile. Warren's Charm notched her fourth win in five career starts for trainer/co-owner Skinner.

In the overnight feature, Bob Shahan's Jett Propelled ($34.60, Jason Thompson) won the $18,000 Fillies and Mares Open in 1:53. Square Deal made the lead early at the opening quarter mile in 27 2/5, while Jett Propelled sat in the pocket and Huntress headed the outer tier first-over through a half-mile in 55 4/5. Huntress applied stout pressure to three-quarters in 1:24 3/5 and edged clear of Square Deal as they battled through the final turn, while Melody Hanover gathered momentum three-wide. However, Jett Propelled surged down the passing lane and out-kicked Melody Hanover to the finish. Huntress held third.

It was the third win of the year for Jett Propelled, whose seasonal earnings surpassed $80,000 for owner/trainer Shahan. It was a new lifetime mark for Jett Propelled, a DSBF graduate and daughter of Roddy's Bags Again.

The eighth race featured a group of female drivers competing for charity in the "Pink Pace." The drivers graciously donated their earnings from the race to the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, a local charity who aims to increase breast cancer awareness. Leslie Joyce won the race with Mad Anne ($28.20) in 1:59 for owner/trainer Elizabeth Shockley.
