Legacy's Jailbreak springs Open Trot surprise

HARRINGTON, DE – Vincent Bradley and Keesha Givens’ Legacy’s Jailbreak ($33.40, Brandon Givens) improved to 3-for-3 at the meet with a 1:56.1 harness racing triumph in the $22,500 Open Trot Wednesday at Harrington Raceway.

Recent newcomer to the Delaware circuit and the lone mare in the field, Legacy’s Jailbreak (Dontyouforgetit) – who has won three straight for her new connections – was sent to the lead at 15-to-1 and authored fractions of 29.1 and 58.3 before the outer flow developed, headed by A Blue Million and Speed Away. Legacy’s Jailbreak led to three-quarters in 1:27 and opened up on the field while Speed Away gave chase on the outside to grab second but couldn’t catch the front stepping winner.

A Blue Million was third.

LEGACY’S JAILBREAK REPLAY

Legacy’s Jailbreak was purchased from Canadian connections in May. The 6-year-old Dontyouforgetit mare scored her 20^th career win. It was part of a driving triple for Givens for the second straight night. Eddie Dennis and Cody Poliseno each had a double.
