Bj Lorado took the $9,000 Tioga Downs featured trot on Saturday, June 30.
Bj Lorado flew off the gate and never looked back putting up all the fractions of :27.4, :57.1 and 1:25.1 in progress to a 1:55.1 mile. Picture This followed in the pocket the whole way and tried to sneak by on the inside in deep stretch but missed by a length. Picture This settled for second best with Tropical Trice finishing third.
Bj Lorado is a four-year-old gelding by Bo W. Owned by Michael and Diane Norcross and trained by Marc Major, he won his fifth race of the year and his ninth in his career. Driven by Tyler Freese, he paid $18.40 to win.
Tioga Downs returns to live action on Sunday, July 1 with a 13-race card starting at 1 p.m.
