Boxer Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter is on life support after she was found with her neck on a treadmill cable yesterday, police said.

The girl's 7-year-old brother found her on a treadmill with her neck on a cable attached to the exercise machine at their Phoenix home, police Sgt. Andy Hill said, calling it a "tragic accident."

The boy told the girl's mother, who was in another room. She took the girl off the cable, called 911 and tried to revive her.

Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR on the girl as they rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she was in "extremely critical condition" and on life support, Hill said.

"Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console — it's kind of a loop," Hill said. "Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it."

Hill said former heavyweight champion Tyson had been in Las Vegas but flew to Phoenix immediately after learning of the accident.

TOP FILLY WORKS OUT; NO WORD ON BELMONT

Preakness winner Rachel Alexandra has worked a half-mile at Churchill Downs, but owner Jess Jackson says he hasn't decided whether to enter the filly in the Belmont Stakes.

Jackson said after yesterday's workout that Rachel Alexandra is "progressing well but we still can't make any decisions with her. He added "her attitude has to be monitored. If anything, we have to hold her back a little because she's so eager to run."

The filly won the Kentucky Oaks on May 1, then ran against boys in the Preakness and beat Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird by a length.

The Belmont is June 6.

'HAWKS COACH FINED $10,000 FOR OUTBURST

The NHL has fined Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville $10,000 for harsh criticism of officiating in his team's loss to Detroit in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.

Quenneville fumed over a roughing call against defenseman Matt Walker during a scrum as the first period ended Sunday. The Red Wings scored on the ensuing power play 1:13 into the second period extending their lead to 3-0, and went on to win 6-1 and take a 3-1 edge in the series.

"I think we witnessed probably the worst call in the history of sports there," Quenneville said after the game. "Nothing play.

"They scored, it's 3-0. They ruined a good hockey game and absolutely destroyed what was going on the ice. ... Never seen anything like it."

The Blackhawks will try to avoid elimination tomorrow in Detroit.
