At 1h39, on April 8, 2023 • By HARRINGTON
Harrington Raceway’s 77th season of live harness racing will commence with a 14-race program on Monday (April 10) with post time at 4:30 p.m.
Last season’s leading driver and trainer are prominently featured on the opening card. Allan Davis, 2022 leading driver, is in all but three races on the Monday program, while last season’s leading conditioner, Joe Columbo, has 11 horses entered on the card.
The feature race is the sixth, a $17,000 Junior Open for pacers. Forrest Bartlett’s U S Captain (3/1, Russell Foster) heads the eight-horse field for trainer Shea Lare, who was the second leading trainer at the recently completed Bally’s Dover meet, while also maintaining one of the highest win percentages.
Live racing will be conducted on a Monday through Wednesday schedule most of the season. There will be a customary summer break after July 3 for the Delaware State Fair, with the annual Governor’s Day racing program on July 27 (special 7 p.m. post time) before the resumption of the meet on Aug. 14.
