Art Director nearing $1-million mark

Kovach Stables’ Art Director ($8, Victor Kirby) earned his 36th career win Monday in the featured $25,000 Open Pace at Harrington Raceway.

 

The 8-year-old Artiscape stallion has now banked nearly $960,000 in his career. Trained by Bobby Clark, Art Director sat a perfect pocket trip behind pacesetter Sniper Hall, who set fractions of :27.4, :56.4 and 1:25.2. Art Director then found room down the passing lane and passed Sniper Hall in deep stretch for the win. Next Adventure, who was first-over at the half-mile mark, finished third.

 

Drivers Brandon Givens and George Dennis each won three races on the program. (Harrington)
