Primo Maschio wins Harrington opening night feature

HARRINGTON, DE – Forrest Bartlett’s Primo Maschio ($4.20, Jason Green) was a 1:54.1 winner in the $22,500 Open Pace Monday on opening night of the 2026 harness racing meet at Harrington Raceway.

The Kevin Lare-trainee was sent to the lead from post two and never looked back in a wire-to-wire win over Steven’s Saloon and T Dog. It was the 21^st career win for the 4-year-old Badlands Hanover gelding, who has banked over $450,000 in his career.

PRIMO MASCHIO REPLAY

 

Two-time Harrington defending track driving champ Montrell Teague picked up where he left off last year with a driving triple.

Driver Brandon Givens won both halves of the early double with Good Looken ($2.80) and Topville Rocknluck ($7.40). Mike Cole won both halves of the latedouble with D A Home Stretch ($10.40) and Aloha Blue Chip ($7).

An extremely large group of horsemen and industry participants in addition to friends and family gathered outside the paddock gate after race 5 to honor the memory of the late Shaun Callahan, who passed away tragically last week. Callahan is the son of long-time Mid-Atlantic horsemen Nick and Dolly Callahan and trained horses for over 25 years. Callahan trained his last winner on April 9 when Touch of White was victorious at Rosecroft Raceway.

Live racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule (post time 4:30 p.m.).
