Jim King Jr. and Tim Tetrick's Powerful Charger ($8.40, Victor Kirby) notched his seventh win of the year on Wednesday in his 1:54.1 triumph in the $16,000 Open Trot at Harrington Raceway.

The seven-year-old Powerful Emotion gelding stalked pacesetter Tough Mac throughout the mile before edging clear of that rival in the final strides. Rolls Blue Chip finished third. Trained by co-owner King Jr., Powerful Charger earned the 29th win of his career.

It is sure to be an eventful week for King Jr. with Wakizashi Hanover (5-2, Tim Tetrick), a North America Cup elimination winner, competing in the $1 million final at Mohawk Racetrack on Saturday, June 20. The North America Cup is slated as the 12th race on the Mohawk program with an estimated post time of 10:40 p.m.

Kirby had three driving wins on the program. Art Stafford Jr. had two wins.
