HARRINGTON, Del. – Jo Ann Looney-King's Purrfect Bags ($2.40, Victor Kirby) was a repeat harness racing winner in Tuesday's $16,500 Filly and Mare Open at Harrington Raceway in 1:54.
Springforth, the 3-to-1 second choice, set all the fractions in the compact five horse field, but could not hold off a fierce late charge in the three-path by race favorite Purrfect Bags who hit the wire first, a head better than Springforth. Miss Me Yet was third.
Purrfect Bags, a daughter of Roddy's Bags Again, registered her 24th career win for her owner/trainer King.
The win also pushed Purrfect Bags over $106,000 in seasonal earnings.
Tony Morgan had four wins on the program. Kirby, Montrell Teague and Allan Davis each had a double.
