Nichols, N.Y. -- Every Way Out ($3.00) made every yard a
winning one in the $52,780 Solicitor, a W. N. Reynolds Memorial Stakes event
for 2-year-old pacing colts and geldings on Monday (August 29) evening at Tioga
Downs.
The son of If I Can Dream and Every Play pushed through up
the pegs to establish the early lead, forcing Cougar Bait (Marcus Miller) into
the pocket on approach to the first turn. Every Way Out controlled the terms
through sectionals of :28.3, :57.3, and 1:26 before he was forced to brace for
a bid from Cougar Bait out of the pocket. Every Way Out prevailed by a half
length, staving off Cougar Bait while driven to complete the one-mile journey
in 1:54. Rock the Boat (John Cummings, Jr.) stayed on from a clear tracking
trip to hold third.
Tim Tetrick drove Every Way Out to his sixth victory in as
many career starts for owners Howard Taylor, Abraham Basen, Edwin Gold, and
Thomas Lazzaro and trainer Dylan Davis.
Tetrick also won the first $31,590 division of the Lorraine,
just holding sway with Lets Havea Party ($3.90) over Ella Christina (Marcus
Johansson) and Well What's New (Kyle DiBenedetto) in 1:54.1. Tony Alagna trains
the Art Major-City Delight filly for Brittany Farms and Marvin Katz.
The other Lorraine split saw Loreenas Ruffian ($13.40) draw
clear in hand to a 1:53 score over Touchamatic (Aaron Byron), while odds-on
favorite Ameraway (Marcus Miller) could only muster a third-place finish from
off the pace. Trainer-driver Charlie Norris co-owns the McArdle-She's a Ruff
One filly with Leonard Buckner and Rebecca Ewing.
Live racing returns to Tioga Downs on Friday (September 2)
evening, with post time scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
