It was the colt and gelding 2-year-olds night in Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) first-leg preliminaries at Dover Downs on Sunday as Mr. Wiggles, Gentlemen Heir and Sgt. Charlie won the $20,000 paces while Collect The Brass and Outdoor Action were DSBF trot winners. Collect The Brass turned in a sparkling 1:58.3 victory in the first DSBF colt trot. Carlo Poliseno wasted no time getting the lead and then overpowered five rivals on the way to his third victory of the year. The son of CR Commando-Yagot Prestige now has won $36,498 for owned Tony Poliseno. Ruby Ransom (Brandon Givens) was his closest pursuer. Wishwell Bigmo (Jonathan Roberts) finished third. In the second $20,000 trot, Bobby and Macey Mae Myers' Outdoor Action, a CR Commando-Liberty Trust gelding, came through with a 2:02.4 win. Hot Potato (Jim Morand) was a strong second with Snowy Finn (Ross Wolfenden) the show horse. Elmer Fannin and George Teague Inc.'s Mr. Wiggles pulled a mild 1:54.4 surprise in one of three $20,000 DSBF colt prelims. The Badlands Hanover-Wiggle Hanover bay took the lead from post eight at the start and never looked back in a 1:54.4 triumph, his fifth in seven starts. Travel Watch (Ben Stafford Jr.) was runner-up. Race favorite Ray's Big Bubba (Wolfenden) made strong bid on the backstretch but could not reach the leader and gallantly held on for third.
Gentlemen Heir scored a 1:55.2 triumph in his $20,000 prelim. Tim Tetrick guided the Badlands Hanover-Heir Apparent chestnut to his fourth win of the season. Bad Bleed George (Morgan) finished second in front of All Powerful (Wayne Long).
Jeff Bartels' homebred Sgt. Charlie won his second race in a row as Corey Callahan steered the victory in another DSBF Colt pace. Prince of Badlands (Eddie Davis Jr.) and Captain Casey (Roger Plante) were second and third, respectively.
The second round of DSBF prelims takes place next Saturday and Sunday. The top eight point getters qualify for $100,000 finals for filly and colt trotters on Sunday, Dec.7. The colt and filly pacer finals are slated for Monday, Dec. 8. (Dover)
