Harrington: Accident mars Tuesday's program

An 11th race accident unseated four drivers Tuesday at Harrington Raceway.

Royal Tang (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 three cards remain before the customary summer break. Chris Scicluna's My Kiwi Lady N ($12.80, Montrell Teague) was a 1:52 4/5 winner in the $20,000 Mares Open. The 9-year-old Art Major mare received a pocket trip and outkicked pace-setter Anneke through the stretch for a one length win. Anneke held second while Incaseyoudidntknow rallied for third.

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