Wolfpack One upsets in $110,000 Marv Bachrad

DOVER, Del. — An early break in stride by 1-20 favorite Tuis Star opened the door for Wolfpack One (E L Platinum) to spring an 11-1 harness racing upset in the $110,000 Marv Bachrad Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund championship for 2-year-old trotting fillies on Monday (Nov. 24) at Bally’s Dover.

In line to Troy Beyer, Wolfpack One was one of three fillies to vie for the early lead, and the E L Platinum-Vandalous filly withstood early pressure from Emerys Angel (driven by Art Stafford Jr.) for the entirety of a :28.1 first quarter before that rival also broke stride. Once in control, Wolfpack One led 75-1 pocket pursuer Belle’ Natania (Trae Porter) through middle splits of :58 and 1:28. Belle’ Natania took aim off the pegs midway around the final turn, but Wolfpack One gave all she had to prevail by a diminishing half length in 2:00.1. Emerys Angel reset and made mild late gains to finish third, beaten 1-3/4 lengths.
