Won The West (5) defeated Foiled Again by a head after a long, first-over trip

Won The West, a 5-year-old Western Hanover gelding, was one of three entrants in the race for trainer Ron Burke. "West" battled gamely, first-over as the pacesetter, Foiled Again, cruised through fractions of :27.3, :57.4 and 1:26, with Mister Big in the two hole. Miller and Won the West continued to grind on the outside and wore down the leader to win by a head over Foiled Again. Mister Big finished third.

“Coming into the race I thought we were racing for second,” Miller said. “You know, Foiled Again has got the rail and I figured he’d dictate the pace and have his own. My horse is a grinder and he can take the air. I knew when I kept up with him in the last turn I figured I had a pretty good chance of catching him.”

For Won The West, it was his 25^th career win as his lifetime earnings ballooned to more than $2 million. Meanwhile, the third place finisher, Mister Big, became just the second pacer in harness racing history to surpass $4 million in career earnings.

Meanwhile, four $100,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund events were contested on the undercard, showcasing Delaware’s top 2-year-old pacers and trotters.

The filly pacers were the first to get underway, as Henry Faragalli and Henry Faragalli, Jr., Joe Thomson and Del Cote’s Winbak Patty ($34.80, David Miller) took her final in 1:56.4. The Del Cote trainee was first-over before she cleared the leaders and drew clear by two lengths.

On the colt side, Badlands Racing, George Teague, Elmer Fannin and Howard Dorfman’s Delmarvalous ($2.40, Corey Callahan) was also a first-over winner as he wore down the pacesetter, Golden Gladiator, in deep stretch for the wi,n in 1:54.1. The Badlands Hanover colt surpassed $100,000 in seasonal earnings with the win for trainer Teague.

As for the colt trotters, Michael Gannon’s Par Done My Putt ($14.20, Wendell Donaway) was a wire-to-wire winner in 2:03.1 for trainer Laura Gannon. The Par One colt overcame post eight for a decisive victory.

Meanwhile, the filly trotting final went faster than the boys, as John Wagner and Lloyd Arnold’s Emily Do ($7.00, John Wagner) prevailed over Chocolate N Roses, in 2:02.3. Wagner also trained the CR Commando filly, who earned her fifth win in seven career starts.
