Aussies quinella Harrington feature

FORMER Australian pacer Shoobee Doo captured last night’s Featured Open Pace Monday at Harrington Raceway.

Driven by Corey Callahan, the son of Shoobee’s Place grinded away first-over at pacesetter Keep On Rocking and edged clear in the stretch for his eighth win of the year.

Keep On Rocking – also Australian-bred - held second, with Scuola Hanover gaining late for third.

Shoobee Doo covered the mile in 1:52.3.

It was the 25th win for Shoobee Doo, which was first-up for five weeks for trainer Dylan Davis, who co-owns the gelding with Michael Casalino.

It was a speedy night around the half-mile oval as two horses blazed to sub-1:52 miles on the undercard, including New Zealand-bred pacer Justasec.

With Pat Berry in the cart, Justasec stopped the clock in 1:51.4.

Art Stafford and Art Stafford juniors Calvin K was a 1:51.3 winner in an $11,000 conditioned event.
