HARRINGTON, Del. - Phillip Mitchell's Ge's Jen won her second straight race Tuesday (1:52.2) for trainer Kevin McDermott in the $15,000 Filly and Mare Open over a sloppy track at Harrington Raceway.
The 7-year-old JK Outlaw mare was victorious in her first start with McDermott on June 16 at the Meadowlands in a lifetime best of 1:50.4. She followed that effort with a strong performance Tuesday, with a three length triumph. Driven by Eddie Davis Jr., Ge's Jen paid $3 to win. Love and Lust N was second with Yada Yada Yada A third.
After the race, W. Dittmar Jr., S. Iaquinta., Ken Wood and Henry King's Yada Yada Yada A, was presented with the horse of the meet award from the United States Harness Writers Association's Delaware Valley Chapter. The 6-year-old Armbro Operative mare finished in the money in all eight of her starts at Harrington, and won five times, earning nearly $45,000 for the spring meet.
"She's a real nice mare," said trainer Eric Ell. "She raced well for us at Dover and she picked up a notch when we brought her here."
