The 74th season of live harness racing at Harrington Raceway came to a close on Wednesday evening (Oct. 21).
Driver Allan Davis claimed his second driving title at the track with a meet best 64 wins. Montrell Teague, Art Stafford Jr., Tony Morgan and Victor Kirby rounded out the top five. The 44-year-old Davis is the son of local legend Eddie Davis, who won more than 8,300 races in his driving career.
Meanwhile, Jim King Jr. who has one of the top barns in North America, notched his first training title at Harrington, and completed a sweep of the Delaware circuit after winning the Dover Downs training title for the 2019-20 season. Joe Hundertpfund Jr., Chuck Crissman and Nick Callahan completed the top four in the trainer standings, while Clyde Francis and Mike Hall tied for fifth.
King and his wife, Jo Ann Looney-King, manage a powerful stable on the west side of Harrington, which includes 2019 Dan Patch Horse of the Year Shartin N and 2019 two-year-old pacing filly honoree Lyons Sentinel, among many other top horses.
The Delaware Valley chapter of the United States Harness Writers Association voted Montys Play the horse of the meet. Montys Play, a son of Shadow Play, had seven wins in 10 starts and raced for three different trainers: Hundertpfund, Jason Lynch and, most recently, Phil Mitchell. Montys Play was claimed twice at the meet.
In the feature on the closing night card, Zippet Racing Stable's Our White Knight ($4.20, Russell Foster) was a 1:55.4 winner in a $12,000 conditioned trotting event for trainer Jay Gannon.
The second race saw a familiar pedigree in George Teague's Letstrytowgleagain ($2.40, Teague), who scored a 1:55 win for trainer Clyde Francis. The son of Mr Wiggles is a full brother to 2015 Horse of the Year Wiggle It Jiggleit.
The live racing circuit in Delaware shifts to Dover Downs, which will conduct live racing on a Monday-through-Thursday schedule beginning Nov. 2.
