Wally Hennessey continues to rack up the wins at Tioga Downs. He drove six winners, including the featured $9,000 Fillies and Mares Open Pace with Landry Seelster, on Saturday (May 22).
In the feature, Landry Seelster worked her way to the front and led to the first quarter in :26.1. She slowed the pace with a :29.3 second quarter, hitting the half in :55.4. Persistent Bettor made a first-over move to try to get to Landry Seelster, but Landry Seelster shook her off and led to three-quarters in 1:22.2.
Talk Show Chica popped the pocket and gave her best effort, but had to settle for second as Landry Seelster coasted to a lifetime best of 1:51.3. Persistent Bettor held on for third.
