Powerful Charger Wins Another Open
Jim King Jr. and Tim Tetrick's Powerful Charger (Victor Kirby, $2.60) notched his sixth win of the year on Wednesday with a 1:55.3 triumph in the $16,000 Open Trot at Harrington Raceway.
The seven-year-old Powerful Emotion gelding grinded away first over on pacesetter Spunky Jack and edged clear at the top of the stretch for a decisive score over Im So Striking and I Like My Boss. Trained by King Jr., Powerful Charger earned his 28th career win.
Trainer John Wilkerson had a double on the night with trotters Wingus ($5) and Keystone Orion ($8.40). Kirby, Montrell Teague and George Dennis each had a driving double.
