Fans Flock To Camel, Ostrich Races
Tioga Downs also held its second annual Camel and Ostrich races on Sunday afternoon in front of more than 5,700 eager fans.
The ostrich race was held after Race 4 on the pari-mutuel harness-racing card, while the camels hit the track after Race 8.
In the three-entry ostrich event, Dixie Chick left alertly from the rail and never relinquished her lead.
In the featured four-entry camel event, My Lovely Humps easily dominated after Lawrence Of Arabia refused and Humpty Dumpty and Pepi Lepew seemed to have a few steering issues.
Eastend Eddie and Jim Marohn Jr. captured the card’s $16,000 open handicap pace by a length and three quarters in 1:51.2. Ron Burke trains the five-year old gelded son of Million Dollar Cam for Burke Racing, Weaver Bruscemi of Pennsylvania.
Live harness racing at Tioga Downs will continue on Friday, June 28 with a first-race post time of 6:50 p.m.
