| Bound For Fame wins Saturday's feature |
Bound For Fame and Corey Braden got up in the final strides
to capture Saturday night's $16,000 Open trot at Tioga Downs.
Leaving from post
position number four in a field of seven, Braden got away fourth as Aruba
Vacation (Fern Paquet Jr.) took the field by the opening quarter in 28.2. As
the field went by the three eighth's mile mark of the race, Braden edged Bound
For Fame to the outside but was quickly put in the second over position by Flex
The Muscle (Phil Fluet) past the half in 57.4. Down the backside Paquet pushed
the accelerator on Aruba Vacation and attempted to get separation from the
field through a third quarter in 27.4, reaching three quarters in 1:25.3.
Around the final turn a pesky Flex The Muscle would not go away on the outside
and was towing Bound For Fame into it with every step. Down the stretch Braden
went to work on Bound For Fame and finally collared Aruba Vacation in the final
strides to win by a head in 1:55.3.
It was the sixth win of the season for the 6-year-old son of
SJ's Photo – Bewitching Karen for owners, Rags To Riches and Mark Goldberg both
of Pennsylvania.
David Duspiva recorded his eighth training victory of the season at Tioga Downs
with the victory, and Bound For Fame increased his seasonal earnings to more
than $109,000.
Jim Meittinis, Jim Marohn Jr., and Jim Taggart each posted
driving doubles on the night's 12-race card.
