Tgdn5/8 - : NYSS prep races highlight Friday night card at Tioga


A duo of NYSS prep races highlighted Tioga Downs’ Friday night twelve race card, with Jamie Sue posting the fastest time of the night. Jim Meittinis sent Jamie Sue to the front after the field went by the opening quarter in a soft 28.4. The duo then cut through fractions of 58 and 1:27 before heavy pressure was applied by the first over Marinade Hanover (Sam Schillaci). Meittinis had to ask Jamie Sue for all she had down the stretch to fight back and find the wire first in 1:54.2. Mark Ford trains the 3-year old daughter of Art Major – Road To Pandalay for Robert Di Nozzi of Ossining, NY. Brownsville Bomber (Fern Paquet Jr.) was victorious in 1:55.4 in the second division of the NYSS preps on Friday night for trainer Ed Hart.

Fern Paquet Jr. posted a driving triple on the night’s twelve race card, while Jim Meittinis and Jim Marohn Jr. each collected two driving victories.

Tioga Downs continues live racing on Saturday night (May 12) at 6:50 pm with a ten race card, for more information on Tioga Downs please visit us online at www.tiogadowns.com .
