Tioga Downs has issues a notice clarifying the Detention schedule for those horses racing in the New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) "Day of Champions" on Saturday afternoon.

A mass text was sent today (Thursday) at 12:52 p.m. erroneously advising that: "All NYSS Detention horses MUST be on the grounds by 1PM Friday. No Exceptions." 

That text is incorrect. 

Beginning with Race 1, the times will be staggered by 20 minutes, 24 hours prior to the scheduled post time for each race as originally listed on the entries page of ustrotting.com. 

Below are the correct report times for NYSS Championship detention. All times are Friday afternoon.

Race 1 - 1 p.m. Friday
Race 2 - 1:20 p.m. Friday
Race 3 - 1:40 p.m. Friday
Race 4 - 2 p.m. Friday
Race 5 - 2:20 p.m. Friday
Race 6 - 2:40 p.m. Friday
Race 7 - 3 p.m. Friday
Race 8 - 3:20 p.m. Friday

Completed NYSGC Veterinary Record Forms (VR1a), identifying any treatments administered in the previous 48 hours (Sept. 8 & Sept. 9), must be submitted to NYSGC officials at the time the horse is brought to the detention area on Friday, Sept. 9, 2022. If no treatments were received then the form must still be completed and submitted indicating “no treatment.” The Commission will post these records on its website.

Any questions should be directed to the Tioga Racing office at 607-699-7688.
