Premier Delight goes back-to-back in Preferred shocker

Premier Delight (Bettors Delight) came through as the longest shot on the board in the harness racing Fillies and Mares Preferred Pace at The Raceway at the Western Fair District on Tuesday (Mar. 26).

Jeff Hunt placed the mare third on the pylons as Major League N (Ed Hensley) led to the quarter in :28.1. Premier Delight moved out onto the back of the first-over So Frisky (Colin Kelly) going to the half in :57.4.

Premier Delight remained second-over through three-quarters in 1:26.1 and swung off the helmet entering the stretch. She motored past the top three coming down the lane and emerged a length in front in 1:57 for the 18-1 upset.

So Frisky edged out Major League N for place.
