Miss Versatility Catch Drive For Zeron

Rick Zeron will head to Tioga Downs this Friday (Sept. 7), as he has picked up a catch drive aboard one of the sport’s top trotting mares.

Zeron and the Luc Blais-trained Dream Together will lead a field of seven in the $40,000 fourth leg of the Miss Versatility, which will feature the lone division.

The last time that the four-year-old daughter of Muscle Hill raced at Tioga was on August 12 for the $141,000 Joie De Vie, which she went on to capture by a head in 1:53.1.

The Joie De Vie had been promoted as the first matchup between trotting heavyweights Hannelore Hanover and Ariana G. Dream Together, who is owned by the Determination stable of Montreal, Que., made a late charge in the Joie De Vie for driver Bob McClure and upset her high profile rivals.

Dream Together (Post 3) has been installed as the 5-2 morning line favourite for her Friday tilt, which has been carded as Race 7 (approximate post time 8:03 p.m.). Her toughest competition could come from the Ake Svanstedt-trained Ice Attraction (to be driven by Simon Allard), who has been pegged as the second choice on the morning line at odds of 7-2.

The rest of the field will include Celebrity Ruth (Jim Meittinis, 4-1), NF Happenstance (Jack Parker Jr., 9-2), Caprice Hill (Mike Simons, 5-1), Pink Pistol (Aaron Byron, 8-1) and The Erm (Charlie Norris, 10-1).

Tioga’s 13-race Friday card will get underway with a first-race post time of 6:15 p.m.
