will be placed into a barrel and a backwards draw will be conducted. Names will
be drawn one-by-one until only one name remains. That person will be the winner
of the Scion iQ automobile courtesy of the Williams Auto Group in Sayre.

will also be drawings to win a laptop computer and gift cards to MaineSource

Following
the last race of the season, a spectacular fireworks display will light up the
skies over Tioga County.

$144,000 in prize money in the Reynolds Stakes, hosted by Tioga Downs for the
first time.
