Michael Casalino and Dylan Davis’ Shoobee Doo A was a one-length winner in the $20,000 featured Open Pace Monday at Harrington Raceway in 1:52.3.
The six-year-old Shoobees Place gelding, in rein to Corey Callahan, grinded away first-over at pacesetter Keep On Rocking A and edged clear in the stretch for his eighth win of the year. Keep On Rocking A held second with mare Scuola Hanover gaining late for third.
It was the 25th career win for the pacer, who had been off since August 16, 2021. He is trained by co-owner Davis. Shoobee Doo A paid $4.00 to win.
It was a speedy night on the half-mile oval as two horses blazed to sub-1:52 miles on the undercard, including Forrest Bartlett’s Justasec N ($6.80, Pat Berry) who was a 1:51.4 winner in a $14,800 conditioned pace. Art Stafford and Art Stafford, Jr.’s Calvin K ($2.40, Stafford Jr.) was a 1:51.3 winner in an $11,000 conditioned event.
Live racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule until October 20.
