NYSS at Tioga recap from Sunday, 6-28

        The 3 Year Old Colt Pacers invaded Tioga Downs on Sunday and put on quite the show.  It was a great day of NYSS racing once again.  Let's cover a couple of the highlights to start with.

        - RACE 3 - NYSS 3YO COLT PACE - $38,233

We were all looking forward to this race and seeing what Splash Brother could do against this group of colts.  After a very impressive showing at the Meadowlands last week where he won from the 10 hole in 1:48.2, we figured another big mile was to come.  Tyler Buter put Splash Brother right on the front and went the half in 53.  But Major Betts and Dexter Dunn sat a very comfy 2 hole trip and coming down the stretch the Major easily cruised by Splash Brother for the 3 length win in 1:49.4.  A very impressive showing for this one trained by Mark Harder.

        - RACE 6 - NYSS 3YO COLT PACE - $38,934

This one looked like a very competitive field of colts with many possible winners.  JK Last Chance had the 6 hole and got away 6th on the rail.  After a half in 55 seconds, Wally Hennessey moved this one to the outside and eventually circled the field for the win in 1:50.4.  Trained by Jim McDonald, this was one of Wally's five wins on the card at Tioga.  JK paid $14.80 for the win.  This colt appears to have a very bright future.  

        This was not an easy card to handicap, and Mike and PC struggled a bit on this one.  We managed to give out three winners out of the 9 stakes races.  They both picked the 5, Mr Dunnigans to win race 1.  And PC gave out the straight tri of 5-4-1.  Mike gave out the exacta box in the 4th race.  It finished 5-1 and paid $45.  And in race 10, PC gave out the winner and exacta of 5-6.  Steuben Warlock was 7-1 ML and went off 3-1.  The exacta paid $26.80.  Mike also had this exacta box in race 10.  Overall it was a tough gambling day but we did manage to hit a couple races.  We'll be back, because that's what we do.  Again, thanks for following and let's get the money.
