Lizzie's Dream used her usual off the pace late kick to
capture the $11,500 featured fillies and mares winner's over event on Friday
night at Tioga Downs.
Lizzie's Dream and Mike Merton ducked off of the gate
from post position number five and had to be loving every moment when they saw
the fractions of 27.1 and 54.4 on the front end. Down the backside Raiders
Favorite (Jason Mac Dougall) pulled first over from fifth giving Lizzie's Dream
the perfect second over trip.
Around the final turn, Merton tipped Lizzie's Dream three
wide and she responded opening up to win by a length and a half in a new
lifetime best of 1:53. The 6-year-old daughter of Dream Away – Vicki Liz is
trained by Joe Moeykens for owner Christine Zigrossi of New York.
It was the third win in 23 seasonal starts for Lizzie's Dream who with the win increased her career
earnings to more than $200,000.
Corey Braden and Greg Merton each posted driving doubles on
the night's 10-race card.
Tioga Downs continues live racing tomorrow evening
(Saturday, July 28) with a post time of 6:50 pm, for more information on Tioga
