Spice It Up Lindy and Jim Meittinis
took their usual place in the winner’s circle following Saturday night’s
$16,500 open trot at Tioga Downs.
Leaving from post position number
six in a field of six, Spice It Up Lindy bullied his way to the front through
an opening quarter in 27.4. Meittinis then controlled the fractions of 57.3 at
the half before receiving first over pressure from All About Justice (Mike
Simons) through three quarters in 1:25.2. Around the final turn, Spice It Up
Lindy was asked for more and the 9-year old responded opening up to win his
third straight Tioga Downs’ open trot in 1:54.2. Santo Zuzolo owns and trains
the son of SJ’s Caviar – Spice World who posted his seventh win in ten seasonal
outings. All About Justice (Mike Simons) held tough despite a first over
journey for second, while Hoboken Sonny (Howard Parker) got up for third.
Tioga Downs continues live racing
