Three divisions for 2-year-old trotting colts and three
divisions for 2-year-old trotting fillies highlighted the nine-race card on
Thursday night at Tioga Downs.

record for 2-year-old trotting colts in the second division with a wire to wire
effort in 1:56.4.

Aperfectyankee who was purchased for $55,000 as a yearling.
Highlighting the divisions for 2-year-old trotting fillies
was True Day Dream from the locally based Dan O’Mara stable.
O’Mara wasted no
time getting the filly to the front past an opening quarter in 29.4 and then
cut through fractions of 59.2 and 1:27.3 before dismissing the rest of the
field with a final panel of 29.1 to win in 1:56.4.
True Day Dream was a bargain
$3,200 yearling purchase for Joe Hess of New
Milford, NJ and posts
a record of 1-1-1 in three seasonal starts good for more than $18,000 in
earnings.
