DSBF Stakes Headline Harrington Week

Published: September 24, 2021 3:34 pm ET

A total of 12 divisions, each with a purse of $20,000, headline the upcoming week of racing at Harrington Raceway as the second leg of Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) stakes will be contested.

Four divisions of male pacers highlight the Monday (September 27) program with Kdk Standardbreds’ Heinikin Bythebay (7/5, Jason Thompson) and Nanticoke Racing and Donna Messick’s Ds Heartland (7/5, Art Stafford Jr.) perhaps emerging as the most impressive winners from the 1st leg of elimination events. Heinikin Bythebay, a son of Southwind Lynx, has won three straight races for trainer Kevin Switzer and is the favourite in the second division, the fourth race on the 15-race program. Les Givens-trained Ds Heartland, a son of Badlands Hanover, was the fastest elimination winner last week (1:55.3) and heads the fourth division, eighth race.

Three divisions of pacing fillies will battle Tuesday (September 28) with two clear standouts thus far. Let It Ride Stables’ Shabby Chic (7/5, Tim Tetrick) is unbeaten in three career starts for trainer Mike Hall.

The Badlands Hanover filly is in the 2nd division and fourth race on the card. Meanwhile, Gty Stable’s Gaitway Gal (7/5, Pat Berry) is 3-for-4 lifetime and was a three-length winner last week for trainer Jeff Smith. The Delmarvalous-sired filly heads the third division, the sixth race on the card.

Meanwhile, trotters will take centre stage Wednesday with three divisions for males and two for females. Owned by Stuart Chambers, Divine Horse Racing, Bcjm Inc., and Cinebrew Enterprises, Wolfpack Russ (Corey Callahan) and Nanticoke Racing’s LG’s Reed O Wen (Jim Morand) have emerged as early favourites from the colt and gelding side. Wolfpack Russ, a son of Glidemaster, was a 2:02.1 winner last week for Nick Callahan and leads…

She Bought Her Dream Home. Then a ‘Sovereign Citizen’ Changed the Locks.

The official-looking letters started arriving soon after Shanetta Little bought the cute Tudor house on Ivy Street in Newark. Bearing a golden seal, in aureate legalistic language, the documents claimed that an obscure 18th-century treaty gave the sender rights to claim her new house as his own.

She dismissed the letters as a hoax.

And so it was with surprise that Ms. Little found herself in her yard on Ivy Street on a June afternoon as a police SWAT team negotiated with a man who had broken in, changed her locks and hung a red and green flag in its window. He claimed he was a sovereign citizen of a country that does not exist and for whom United States laws do not apply.

Ms. Little was a victim of a ploy known as paper terrorism, a favorite tactic of an extremist group that is one of the fastest growing, according to government experts and watchdog organizations. Known as the Moorish sovereign citizen movement, and loosely based around a theory that Black people are foreign citizens bound only by arcane legal systems, it encourages followers to violate existent laws in the name of empowerment. Experts say it lures marginalized people to its ranks with the false promise that they are above the law.

The man who entered her house, Hubert A. John of Los Angeles, was arrested on June 17 and charged with criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespass and making terroristic threats. Prosecutors in New Jersey are preparing to take the case before a grand jury, according to Katherine Carter, a spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s office. He was released on his own recognizance.

But the strange letters declaring that Ms. Little’s home is not her own still come. They arrive on faux-consular letterhead using the name Lenapehoking of the Al Moroccan Empire at…

Oleksandr Usyk’s best hairstyles before Anthony Joshua bout from top-knot to mohican

Oleksandr Usyk will take on Anthony Joshua with a shaved head in north London this weekend – which is a long way from the standout styles he has opted for in the past.

The undefeated Ukrainian is looking to claim heavyweight glory in only his third fight in the division by beating his British foe, and goes into the bout full of confidence.

The 34-year-old has 18 victories to his name from 18 professional bouts, and has regularly got the better of his opponents with unpredictable antics before the fight has even begun.

As part of his character and culture, Usyk has had a mix of unusual hairstyles in the past, and Central Recorder Sport has taken a look at three of the most memorable before he steps into the ring vs Joshua.

Will Usyk beat Joshua? Tell us in the comments section

One of his most unusual offerings has been the Ukrainian top knot style he had back in 2013.

With his hairline shaved to the back of the skull, a long piece of hair is kept which can be tied into a topknot, as was seen in many of his cruiserweight bouts.

The traditional style is part of Ukrainian culture, and…

Hackettstown Field Hockey Team ‘Aims To Do Well In Conference, Division,’ With 3-3 Start

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — The Hackettstown field hockey team is off to a solid start and hopes to do as well in the postseason as it has the last several years.

“We have been playing pretty well so far this year,” said Rachael Gorski, who is in her third year as head coach after being an assistant coach for three years. “We are 3-3 right now with losses to strong teams: Warren Hills, Lenape Valley, and Vernon.”

Hackettstown earned the fourth seed in the Hunterdon/Warren/Sussex Tournament and earned a first-round bye. The team will take on No. 13 Vernon in the second round on Oct. 2. The Tigers last won the championship in 2018.

The team’s captains, senior Amy Wood and junior Ali Cetani; goalie Emily Newton; and sophomore forwards Kiara Koeller and Skyler Sciaretta are leading the team.

“Our captains are competent leaders, and our goalie has also been emerging as a leader in the back,” Gorski said. “Kiara Koeller and Skyler Sciaretta lead by example during practice and on the field.”

The Tigers’ first victory came over Newton, 2-1, on Sept. 11.

“Against Newton, Skyler Sciaretta returned from an injury late in regulation―which left her with a black eye―to score the game-winning goal in overtime,” Gorski said.

Koeller scored the team’s other goal, while Newton made 10 saves.

The Tigers defeated High Point, 2-1, on Sept. 18 and Wallkill Valley, 1-0, on Sept. 20.

Sciaretta and Koeller also scored the team’s goals against High Point. Newton made six saves. Emma Patton scored the team’s only goal against Wallkill Valley. Newton again made six saves in the victory.

Gorski said the Tigers are a young team.

“We are a young team with only three seniors,” she said. “This is also the first year in our program that we have been…

Connecticut Sportsbook Operators Submit Soft Launch Plans

With Connecticut on the cusp of sports betting, three operators are preparing for soft launches.

The state’s Department of Consumer Protection confirmed Tuesday that DraftKings, BetFair (FanDuel) and Rush Street Interactive have all submitted proposals for how they plan to conduct a soft launch in Connecticut.

No date has been announced for when that soft launch might take place, but all three filed the 10-day notice by law and a seven-day soft launch period is projected to start around Sept. 30. The official live date is expected to be Oct. 7.

Just last week, Paul Mounds, chief of staff to Gov. Ned Lamont, said that live sports betting would begin on Oct. 7.

If Connecticut makes its target date, residents would be able to bet on the Week 5 NFL games.

UConn men’s college basketball is set to begin its regular season on Nov. 9 as the Huskies start a four-game homestand against Central Connecticut State.

Online casinos will likely take a little longer to launch in Connecticut. In addition to their sportsbooks, DraftKings Casino and FanDuel Casino will offer online casino games in the state.

Where To Bet In Connecticut

Bettors will have three options to place their wagers once Connecticut launches its sports betting operations.

FanDuel Sportsbook is partnered with the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville. DraftKings Sportsbook has partnered with Foxwoods in Mashantucket. Rush Street Interactive reached a deal with the Connecticut Lottery to enter the market. Rush Street operates Sugarhouse Sportsbook, which is expected to be the brand in Connecticut. It also has the BetRivers brand.

An early October launch would conclude what has been a quick turnaround from when Lamont signed sports betting and online casino gaming into law on May 27. The Department of Consumer Protection then set the rules and started the application process for operators. Meanwhile,…
