Four unseated in accident at Harrington

HARRINGTON, DE – An 11th race accident unseated four harness racing drivers Tuesday at Harrington Raceway.

Royal Tang (JK Endofanera) and driver Russell Foster, who led most of the way prior to the mishap, fell on the backstretch near the three-quarters and impeded the progress of trailing horses, Victory Move (Cody Poliseno), Outclassed (Corey Callahan) and Due West (Art Stafford Jr.), who also fell.

Callahan and Stafford Jr. were taken to area hospitals for further evaluation. No further information on their condition was available at the time of this writing. Royal Tang suffered a catastrophic injury and was tragically euthanized. The other horses and drivers involved appeared to escape serious injury.

A 15-card was contested as 3 cards remain before the customary summer break. Chris Scicluna’s My Kiwi Lady N ($12.80, Montrell Teague) was a 1:52.4 winner in the $20,000 Mares Open.

The 9-year-old Art Major mare received a pocket trip and outkicked pacesetter Anneke through the stretch for a one-length win. Anneke held second while Incaseyoudidn’tknow rallied for third.

It was the 4th straight win for My Kiwi Lady, who is trained by her owner.

David Hamm and Rodney Long’s Movin On Up ($6.60, Allan Davis) won the sub-featured $15,000 conditioned pace in 1:51.2 for trainer Chuck Crissman Jr., who had a training double.

Montrell Teague had 3 wins on the card. Davis and Kirby each had a pair of driving wins.
