Quint’s Brew rallied nine wide and surged past late to win Saturday’s $100,000 Wilmington Stakes by a neck at Delaware Park. The 5-year-old Mosler gelding settled near the rear before swinging to the outside entering the stretch and outfinishing Boardwalk Jack and Fire Pit in a tight finish. Favored Quint’s Brew ($4.20) completed six furlongs on a sloppy track in 1:11.82 after opening fractions of 22.40 and 46.15 seconds. Boardwalk Jack edged Fire Pit by a neck for second, while second choice Scorching faded to fifth after leading into the stretch. Quint’s Brew improved to 2-for-2 at Delaware Park.
