Harrington, DE — An accident which unseated four drivers cast a pall over the Tuesday (June 28) harness racing program at Harrington Raceway.

Royal Tang (Russell Foster), who led most of the way through the night’s 11th race 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 were taken to area hospitals for further evaluation; no further information on their condition was available.

Royal Tang suffered a catastrophic injury and was euthanized. The other horses and drivers involved appeared to escape serious injury.

In earlier action, 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 out-kicked pacesetter Anneke through the stretch for a one-length win. Anneke held second while Incaseyoudidn’tknow rallied for third.

It was the fourth straight win for My Kiwi Lady N, 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 three wins on the card. Davis and Kirby each had a pair of driving wins.

Three cards of racing remain before Harrington’s customary summer break. Racing returns to Harrington on Wednesday (June 29); post time is 4:30 p.m.
