Mike Merton capped a five-win afternoon on Sunday (July 28) at Tioga Downs with a score in the $11,000 featured pace with Rebellious ($5.30).

Rebellious went straight to the lead through a :26.1 first quarter and then yielded to Americanprimetime (Wally Hennessey), who took over past the stands for the first time and controlled the pace through the half in :53.3 and three-quarters in 1:21.3. Rebellious angled out just before the three-quarters and flew by the pacesetter for a 1:49 win, a new lifetime mark. Americanprimetime held on for second over Motown N (Jeffrey Long).

Rebellious, a five-year-old Mach Three gelding, earned his seventh win this season for the partnership of Joel Warner and trainer Mike Deters.

Merton got his other driving wins with Melanies Fran ($4.60), Mr Big Bucks ($2.90), Itsnoproblemman ($15.80) and The Spy ($6.10).

Prairie Fortune ($2.50) gave Deters a sweep of the Sunday features, destroying the field in the $11,000 featured trot with Jim Meittinis in the bike.

Dragin The Wagon (Aaron Byron) took the lead just before a :26.4 first quarter, and he controlled a :56.2 half before Prairie Fortune took over with three-eighths to go. The seven-year-old Arapa Victory gelding breezed down the stretch to defeat Jack Rules (Andy Santeramo) and Campbellini (Corey Braden) by 10-1/2 lengths in 1:52.3.

Prairie Fortune notched his seventh win this season and the 54th of his career for Deters, who shares ownership with Laurie Poulin.
