It’s never easy being the owner of a farm, especially when you have to kick someone out…well today we did…no matter how quiet or nice he seemed…there’s just not enough room at Soaring Gait for two “Turtles”. Reid moved him to the back pond 😂

🐴✨ Breed of the Week: The Standardbred! ✨🐴

Say hello to the Standardbred — the ultimate combination of speed, stamina, and a sweet personality! 🏇💨

Known for their smooth trot or pace, these horses were bred for the track but shine just as brightly off of it. 🌟 Whether it's riding, driving, or just being a lovable barn buddy, the Standardbred does it all! ❤️🐎

With their calm nature and willingness to please, it's no wonder they’re fan favorites in and out of the harness racing world 🏁. Plus, with proper care and nutrition 🥕🌾, they can live long, healthy, and happy lives!

Co-owner Reid was at Ballys Dover last night to watch Bold Speed (who wears Reids favorite color blue) finish a close second in the fifth race! Bold Speed closes out his Dover Downs meet with 3 wins, 5 seconds and a third in 10 starts, bank rolling over 40,000 so far in the year. Needless to say Reid’s a big fan!

Happy Wednesday!

Harrington Raceway's 79th Year Of Live Racing Opens April 14

by Matt Sparacino

HARRINGTON, DE – Harrington Raceway’s 79th season of live harness racing is set to kickoff Monday April 14 (post time 4:30 p.m.) with a Monday through Wednesday schedule most of the season.

Horsemen are reminded that the first qualifier will be Tuesday April 8, and will occur primarily on Wednesdays after that point throughout the season.

Improvements to the race paddock were started immediately following the conclusion of the 2024 season, including paint, all new stall mats, new chairs, benches and stall gates on all race stalls.

Applications are due March 28 and can be submitted online through the website here.

Fans will be treated to a tumbler giveaway on opening night (while supplies last) at 4:15 p.m. in the grandstand lobby. Free program pages to nightly race cards will again be available on the website courtesy of the Delaware Standardbred Owners Association.

The first draw for qualifiers will be Monday April 7 and the first race draw on Tuesday April 8.

Also new this year is racing will occur on the first night of the 10-day Delaware State Fair on July 17 with a special 5 p.m. post time.

On the wagering front, a pair of pick four (50 cents) wagers will remain, starting in race 2 and again for the last four races on the program. A 50-cent minimum base superfecta will be available in most races except for the opening legs of the pick four and non-full fields. There is no consolation payout on the pick four and superfecta as they will feature 100 percent carryovers.

There will be a customary summer break, except for the fair night card, until August 11 when racing will resume through October 22.
