Shoobee Doo A takes Harrington Opening Day Pace

HARRINGTON, DE – Michael Casalino and Dylan Davis’ Shoobee Doo A ($2.60, Corey Callahan) was a wire-to-wire winner Monday on the opening night harness racing card at Harrington Raceway in 1:51.2 in the $20,000 Open Pace.

The 7-year-old Shoobee’s Place gelding controlled the pace from his rail post position and never relinquished the lead as he held off Sprocket and McBoogity for his 27th career win. Trained by co-owner Davis, “Shoobee” surpassed $300,000 in career earnings with the victory.
