Misty Coast Motors Home In Delaware Breeders Fund

Stephen Messick's Misty Coast was the fastest of three $20,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund splits for two-year-old pacing fillies Tuesday at Harrington Raceway with a 1:55.4 triumph.

The Powerful Mist filly was a comfortable one-length winner for driver Art Stafford Jr. over Direct Mist and Beingbadsomewhere.  It was Misty Coast’s third win of the year for trainer Les Givens.  She paid $2.10 to win.

Paul Davis Jr., Lorie Davis and David Hanauer's Spoiled Rotn Girl ($5.40, Allan Davis) was a 1:59.4 winner in the second split over Chatty Kathleen and Ren Marvalous. It was the fourth career start and first lifetime win for the daughter of Roddys Bags Again, who is trained by co-owner Paul Davis Jr.

In the final DSBF division, Ezy Ranch Inc's Ezycure ($3.80, Montrell Teague) prevailed over Hold My Wine and Del Lyon in 1:58.3. The Barber Pole filly made a quarter pole move to the front and never relented in her second straight win for trainer Cory Mumford.

 Art Stafford Jr., Teague and Allan Davis each had three wins on the card. Teague is closing in on 2,000 career wins and is two wins away from the milestone.  Victor Kirby and Mike Cole each had driving doubles.

Four DSBF two-year-old divisions for trotters will headline the Wednesday program.  Post time is 4:30 p.m.
