Father Patrick gelding speeds away with main prize

HARRINGTON, DE – Breakaway Racing and Yorwollahan Racing Team’s Speed Away (Father Patrick) continued his affinity for Harrington Raceway with a 1:54.1 harness racing win in the $18,000 Open Trot Wednesday.

Speed Away ($3.80, Corey Callahan) left the gate in aggressive fashion and marched to the lead from post position five, where he would stay throughout en route to a wire-to-wire open length win over Sassy Reagan and Lizzy Lauxmont. Trained by Nick Callahan, it was the 2nd win in 4 starts this year for the Father Patrick gelding, who has banked nearly $325,000 lifetime. Both of his wins this year have come at Harrington, as did all of his 2024 wins (7).
