For the second year in a row, Braxten Boyd was the leading driver at Tioga Downs, and he punctuated his title-winning season with five victories, including the $20,548 Open Pace on closing night, Saturday, Sept. 20.

Livonjaxandqueens sat the pocket behind Typhoon Banner N (Greg Merton), who put up the early fractions of :26.4 and :56.4. Stonebridge Reef (Tyler Miller) was first to make a move as he went first-over going down the backstretch, chipping away at Typhoon Banner N through three-quarters in 1:24. Livonjaxandqueens ($5.16) left the two-hole and slugged it out with Typhoon Banner N down the lane, and Livonjaxandqueens got up to win by a quarter-length in 1:51.3. Comet Crusader N (Jim Pantaleano) finished third.

Livonjaxandqueens, trained by Jim Rothfuss, is a five-year-old American Ideal-Its De Lovely stallion. He has won 21 of 78 career starts for owner-breeder Howard Ouriel.  The win was his sixth at Tioga this season, and he was named the track's 2025 Pacer of the Year for his efforts that included four place finishes and two thirds.

Boyd has had an incredible year all over North America and topped Tioga with 111 wins this season. His other wins on the card came with Scootnroll ($3.60), Meadowbranch Ricky ($5.54), Tom Swifty ($2.60), and Talbotcreekwhiskey ($5.10).
