Berry duo take Open Trot at Harrington

HARRINGTON, DE – Tlb Racing’s Remarkable De Vie (Charlie De Vie) and driver Pat Berry notched his sixth win of the harness racing season Wednesday (May 10) with a 1:54.2 triumph in the featured $20,000 Open Trot.

The Traci Berry-trainee is on pace for consecutive $100,000 seasons with his 23^rd lifetime win that pushed him past the $70,000 mark for the season.

Race favorite Northern Express assumed command from early leader Manatlas to the opening quarter mile in :28.1 seconds. The field stayed single file to the half-mile in :57.3 seconds before a first-over Remarkable De Vie emerged with a power surge which cleared Northern Express, who soon broke stride, to the three-quarters in 1:25.4.

Remarkable De Vie ($5.20) never relented from there as Quiksilvr Bluechip rallied for second with Manatlas third. The win was one of three on the card for driver Pat Berry, two of which were trained by his wife Traci.

REMARKABLE DE VIE REPLAY

Harrington’s defending leading driving champion Allan Davis had 5 wins on the card and maintained the hot hand after a 6-win night on Tuesday. Davis closed night out strong winning the last 3 races with Canoe Trip ($4.60), Go With the Roll ($8) and Monarch ($3.20).

Tony Morgan had a pair of victories.
