With the NYSS program on hold for another few weeks, Tioga
Downs will offer prep races for NY eligible three year olds next week. These
races are written during the four live race day week next Friday
through the Monday, May 27 Memorial Day card.
There are two classes for each sex and gait, a $7,500e
class ($100 entry fee) for Excelsior eligible and a $12,500e class ($250 entry
fee) for sires stake horses. Both will go on the same card, as is the practice
for the NYSS/Excelsior program.
Tioga uses a four day box, with the entries for
Friday, May 24 due by 9am on Monday, May 20. The condition sheet is
available on the Tioga website and
further information may be gained by calling Director of Racing Jason
Bluhm at 607-699-7688.
