Officials with Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs would like to remind horsepeople that nominations for the spring/summer late closing series held at Tioga and Vernon must be postmarked by Wednesday, April 1.

Vernon offers a pair of spring series – one each for pacers and trotters – for non-winners of two pari-mutuel races or $20,000 (fillies are allowed one additional pari-mutuel win; winners of $50,000 are ineligible) through Tuesday, March 31. These series culminate in a pair of $10,000 added finals on Sunday, May 10.

Tioga offers a quartet of summer series separated by gait and sex, all of which are for three, four, and five-year-olds which have not won five pari-mutuel races or $60,000 (winners of $100,000 are ineligible) through Tuesday, March 31. They end with $40,000 estimated finals held in the last two weeks of June.
