Tioga Downs held its first 'Old Style' sulky race on Friday night where the horses racing in the fourth race of the night were restricted to use older style sulkies, which ended up being eight Tel-Star bikes.

The race favourite, If I Didnt Care didn’t care what race bike she was hooked to as driver Greg Merton put the five-year-old American Ideal mare on the engine through fractions of :27.2, :56.3, and 1:24.4 before drawing away from the field with ease in 1:53.4. The margin of victory was three and a half lengths as If I Didnt Care recorded her third win of the year for the Rock & Roll Stable of Chicago, Illinois and trainer Rick Dane.

In the $10,000 featured Miracle Mile 1 pace on Friday night, Fair Voltage and Merton used a second over cover trip and turned it into a 1:53.1 score. The win was the third at Tioga Downs this year for the five-year-old Village Jolt mare, who is owned Charles Lewis and trained by James Clouser Jr. Itstimeformetofly (Phil Fluet) finished second while Haggin Oaks (James Kennedy) hung on for third.
