Sweet Tactics took the $10,000 featured trot at Tioga Downs on Saturday (July 29).
Tantalize Bluechip (Mike Merton) went to the front and led through splits of :27.2, :56.2 and 1:25.1. Turning for home, though, Sweet Tactics (Tyler Miller) made her move and came flying down the stretch. Tantalize Bluechip dug in but Sweet Tactics kept coming and went on by to win in a lifetime best of 1:56.3. Tantalize Bluechip had to settle for second and Flyhawk El Fuerte (Aaron Byron) finished third.
Sweet Tactics is a three-year-old filly by Tactical Landing owned by Ecurie Jean-Pierre Barjon of France and trained by Julie Miller. She has four lifetime wins, all this season, after a winless 10-race rookie campaign.
Jim Taggart Jr. and Mike Merton had driving doubles on the card.
Live racing returns on Sunday (July 30) with a 10-race card starting at 1 p.m.
