Smart Rokker prevails Monday

Peter Paul Venturini, Peter Venturini III and Brian Malone's Smart Rokker ($3.80, Tony Morgan) cruised to an easy 1:52 harness racing triumph in the $15,000 featured Open Pace Monday at Harrington Raceway.

Trained by Malone, the 6-year-old Rocknroll Hanover gelding led every call and drew clear by six lengths at the wire over Sparky Mark and Just A Jolt, who rounded out the trifecta.

Smart Rokker notched his seventh win of the year, which matched his win total from 2015. The win was one of three for Morgan.

Coaster ($45.60, Montrell Teague) was a long shot winner for the second straight start for trainer co/owner Buddy Bright.

Getitoffyourchest ($26, Ross Wolfenden) was the fastest winner on the program with a 1:51.3 triumph for trainer Richard Lewis and owners David Banks and Layfield Horses LLC.

Teague, Wolfenden and Bret Brittingham each had a double.
