HARRINGTON, DE – The 13^th race exacta payout at Harrington Raceway certainly lured the attention of harness racing bettors Tuesday (Sep. 20) as a $2 ticket on the winning 2-8 combination paid $6,826.40.

Vince Copeland’s A Rocknroll Bus (A Rocknroll Dance) paid $100.40 to win with Copeland in the sulky as they prevailed in a narrow photo over fellow long shot Bettor Country (32-1) to make for the sizable exacta payout. No one successfully selected all 3 finishers (2-8-6) in the trifecta, forcing a rare 2-8-All payout in the trifecta.
