Harrington, DE — Harrington Raceway’s 74th season of live harness racing will resume Monday night (Aug. 17) with a 12-race program with post time at 4:30 p.m.

The feature race is a $13,500 conditioned pace that features some local pacing heavyweights, including 2015 Horse of the Year Wiggle It Jiggleit (9/2, Montrell Teague) for owners George Teague Jr. and Teague Racing Partnership. The Clyde Francis trainee has banked nearly $4 million in his illustrious career. The venerable 8-year-old son of Mr Wiggles will start from post position eight.

Meanwhile, a familiar rival and 2019 Harrington Horse of the Meet, Slick Tony (9/5, Tony Morgan), is back for owner/trainer George Leager. The 5-year-old No Spin Zone stallion drew post two and will look to pad his healthy career bankroll of nearly $700,000. He is one of the richest Delaware-bred horses of all-time.

The path to the winner’s circle won’t likely be an easy ticket, however, as the field is full of viable challengers, including Richard Poillucci and Jo Ann Looney-King’s Trojan Banner N (3/1, Victor Kirby). The 5-year-old Bettor’s Delight stallion is exiting races versus top flight competition in which the winning time in his last five races has been sub-1:50. The Jim King Jr. trainee will start from post five.

The husband/wife team of Jim and Jo Ann Looney-King’s recent successes are well documented after campaigning a pair of the sport’s brightest stars last season, namely Dan Patch Horse of the Year Shartin N and 2-year-old filly of the year Lyons Sentinel, both of which have returned to action this year and are racing at a high level.

Another formidable threat in the King barn is Apple Valley Art (7/5, Victor Kirby), who will compete from the rail in the 11th race on the card. The Delaware-bred, owned by Jo Ann Looney-King, swept through his Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund eliminations and $100,000 final on July 6 and is an impressive three-for-four lifetime and will vie for his fourth consecutive victory.

The wagering format includes a Pick-4 in races two-five and races nine-12.

Live racing will continue on a Monday/Tuesday schedule for the balance of August and into the first week of September, until the week of Sept. 7 when Wednesdays will be added through the duration of the meet on Oct. 21.
