Harrington oval scorched

Cool Flying Fun went the second fastest mile in Harrington Raceway's 60-year history Monday night with a 1:51.4 triumph in the featured $18,500 Open Pace.

Driven by Brandon Givens, the 6-year-old Bonnie and Clyde stallion set all the fractions (27.1, 56, 1:24.1) while No Free Parking (Mike Cole) battled first over on the outside, Cool Flying Fun was relentless in the stretch and held on for a half-length win.

No Free Parking was second and placed fourth for interference with Casimir Bad Boy (Eddie Davis Jr.) at the half-mile. Black Cat Bone (Ron Pierce) was placed second with Casimir Bad Boy third.

The win pushed Cool Flying Fun over $310,000 in lifetime earnings for owner-trainer Nicholas Callahan. He was already the all-time leading money earner from his sire.

Later, 5-year-old Jasper Bob set a new track record for aged geldings and equaled Cool Flying Fun's mark of 1:51.4 in one of three $15,000 winners-over divisions.

In the $13,000 Open for 4 year olds, Todd Wise and Jeff Franklin's Flaming Moe (Ron Pierce) won in 1:53.

Tony Morgan had five winners on the night.
