It was just earlier this week (Monday, July 23) that Spice
It Up Lindy established a new track record in the $16,500 open trot of 1:53.1.
Although he didn't set any new track records on Saturday night, he repeated his
winning performance in the $18,000 open trot on Saturday night.
Leaving from post position number one , Jim Meittinis moved
Spice It Up Lindy to the front to gain control of the race from Aruba Vacation
by an opening quarter of 28.3. The field then raced in straight alignment by a
half in 58.2 and three quarters in 1:27.1 with first over pressure from Tac's
Delight (Lewayne Miller). Around the final turn, Spice It Up Lindy was asked
for more and he responded by drawing clear with a 28.1 final panel to stop the
timer in 1:55.2.
It was the sixth win in nine seasonal starts for Spice It Up
Lindy who with the win increased his seasonal earnings to more than $51,000 for
owner-trainer Santo Zuzolo.
Aruba Vacation
(Fern Paquet Jr.) used a two hole trip to finish second, while Mandinga (Jim
Taggart Jr.) stayed along the pylons to finish third.
Tioga Downs continues live racing tomorrow afternoon
