Published: May 20, 2018 12:10 am EDT

Sudden Change N captured Saturday’s $9,000 Fillies & Mares Open 2 at Tioga Downs, while teamster John Cummings put on a driving clinic thanks to his five-win performance.

Sudden Change N ($9.70/Jim Taggart, Jr.), who is owned by trainer Jody Riedel and Super Mile LLC., went first-over from last just before the three-quarter mark. K Js Caroline (Mike Merton) looked like she was a winner in the stretch but Sudden Change N made one more run at her to nip her at the wire in 1:52.2. K Js Caroline held for second with Kardashian (John Cummings Jr.) finishing third.

Sudden Change N is a seven-year-old mare by Changeover. She won for the fourth time this season and secured her 20th lifetime victory.

John Cummings, Jr. and trainer Jenny Melander combine for three wins on the night.

Cummings, Jr. and Melander got wins with My Cherrie Pie ($3.00), Away My Baby ($3.60), and American Assassin ($5.50). Cummings, Jr., also secured victories with Explosive Jet ($31.00), and Gold Star Aurora ($5.60)

Tioga Downs returns to live racing on Sunday afternoon with a post time of 1:00 p.m.
