Primo Maschio goes six for six

HARRINGTON, DE – Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) stakes action for 2-year-olds kicked off the week of harness racing at Harrington Raceway Monday as a pair of $20,000 divisions for pacing colts and geldings were contested.

Forrest Bartlett’s Primo Maschio (Badlands Hanover) ($2.10, Trae Porter) improved to 6-for-6 lifetime with a 1:54.4 win for trainer Kevin Lare over Lew Not Lou and Won Last Call. The Badlands Hanover gelding never had an anxious moment in his front end score.
