Let It Ride Stable and Carl Howard's Just Applause ($2.80, Tim Tetrick) was a 1:55 winner to head a pair of $20,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) divisions for 2-year-old pacing fillies Tuesday at Harrington Raceway.
The daughter of He's Watching raced gamely off a first-over trip where she applied pressure to pace-setter Warren's Charm before she edged clear in deep stretch for her first career win for trainer Linda Toscano. Warren's Charm raced admirably in second but suffered her first defeat in four career starts, with longshot Lovers Cay third.
Tetrick wound up winning both DSBF splits as Odds On Put Option ($3) started the stakes action with a 1:55 4/5 triumph over Meemaw's Column and Philly View. The first-time starter was successful with a first-over charge near three-quarters to make the lead and then pulled away from the field. The He's Watching filly is owned by Odds On Racing and trained by Scott Di Domenico.
