Contrasting trips in Harrington Open wins

HARRINGTON, DE – Brenda Teague’s Anneke (Southwind Lynx, $4.20, Pat Berry) and David Hamm and Rodney Long’s Movin On Up (Bettor’s Delight, $2.80, Allan Davis) were co-feature harness racing winners in their respective $20,000 Open divisions Monday (Aug. 15) at Harrington Raceway.

Anneke, a 6-year-old mare was a wire-to-winner in the Mares Open in 1:54.4 over Designed To Dance and Rock N Shard. It was her 4^th win of the season as her seasonal earnings ballooned to more than $91,000 for owner/trainer Teague.

Meanwhile, Movin On Up was a 1:52.4 winner off a pocket trip behind pacesetter Mack. Mack did the heavy lifting throughout before a late stretch kick saw Movin On Up’s nose hit the wire first in a narrow margin of victory over the pacesetter. Major Betts was third.

It was the 9^th win of the year for Movin On Up, who is trained by Chuck Crissman Jr. The 7-year-old gelding has banked nearly $170,000 this year. It was one of 3 wins on the card for Davis, 2 for trainer Crissman Jr. Tony Morgan had a driving double.
