Tay Tay M Pockets Open Win At Tioga
Tay Tay M (Renaldo Morales III) won the featured $12,000 Fillies & Mares Open 1 Pace on Friday (May 17) at Tioga Downs.
HP Sissy (Jim Meittinis) put up all the early numbers (:28, :56.4, 1:24.2). Tay Tay M ($20.60), who is trained by Kim Sears for owners Jay Sears and Richard Dunmire, rode in the pocket all the way to the stretch. She would go to the front and hold off the late charge by second-place finisher Velocity McSweets (Mike Merton) to win in a lifetime-best of 1:53. Northern Daily (Wally Hennesey) was third-best.
Tay Tay M is a five-year-old mare by Six Of Diamonds. The win was her third this season. She now has 11 career victories.
