39-1 long shot Forty Three rallied from last to upset in the Tioga feature.
A
group of six talented mares went postward with heavy favorite Run On Luck
moving quickly to the front thru a brisk opening quarter of 27.1.
Run On Luck
and driver Jim Marohn, Jr. continued to lead unpressured thru middle half
fractions of 56.3 and 1:24.2.
In the final turn, the field tightened as Run On
Luck tired and began to take on foes from every direction.
Sean Bier placed
Forty Three in a perfect 2nd over trip tipping out mid stretch to
secure the victory by a neck.
Southwind Trini sat 5th during the mile
found room in the stretch to charge home for 2nd, Kiddie McCardle
rounded out the tri.
The win was Forty Three's 2nd in a row and
3rd in just 6 starts this year at Tioga.
Live racing returns Sunday with the Empire
Breeders Classic races highlighting the 1:30pm card.
The top 3 year-old NY-bred
filly and colt pacers will be on display to duel it out for over $500,000 in
purses.
