Tioga Downs will play host to a pair of high profile stakes events this Sunday evening, as three-year-old pacing stars head to the five-eighths mile oval for the Empire Breeders’ Classic Finals

.

The Tioga Downs’ odds maker has dubbed See You At Peelers as the heavy 2-5 morning line favourite for Sunday night’s $279,175 Empire Breeders’ Classic Final for three-year old filly pacers.

After last week’s national seasons, stakes, and track record of 1:50.4 in the first start of her sophomore campaign, See You At Peelers extended her undefeated streak to fourteen. However, eight of New York’s best pacing fillies will be lined up looking to knock off her undefeated streak and take home the coveted 2011 Empire Breeders’ Classic. See You At Peelers will start from post position number three on Sunday night, while the other elimination winner, New Album, has chose the rail for Sunday’s final.

In the $289,925 final for the three-year old colt and gelding pacers, last week’s elimination winner, Roadside Delight, has been made the 3-1 morning line favourite for George Brennan and trainer Richard ‘Nifty’ Norman. After last week’s national seasons, stakes, and track record of 1:50.1 from post position number one the connections were quick to jump back on the rail for Sunday night’s final.

Roadside Delight has been given the slight edge over Fashion Delight (David Miller) who sat the pocket behind the pacesetter last week but was unable to get up in his first start of the year. However, Fashion Delight has drawn post position number five for the final and will make his third start on Lasix with a race under his belt in 2011 and could offer a strong challenge for the favourite. Feel Like A Fool (Brian Sears) after being the beaten 2-5 favourite in the elimination has drawn post position number six for Sunday night’s final.
