Harrington, DE --- The second leg of Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund stakes action for 2-year-old pacers is in the books after seven divisions were held on Monday evening (Oct. 17) at Harrington Raceway.
There were four divisions for fillies and three for colts.
Ed Walls’ Designer Bags ($2.10, Allan Davis) completed a sweep of her elims with a 1:58.3, front end win in the first division. The Roddy’s Bags Again-Alyshima filly improved to four-for-six in her career for trainer David Rearic.

The third filly division was the fastest of the night and went to Pres Burris and David Hanauer’s Genie’s Genie ($8.00, Tony Morgan). Genie's Genie parlayed a two hole trip to victory in 1:57.1 for the second straight start for trainer Lorie Davis.
