Five divisions of New York Sire Stakes for two-year-old filly pacers highlighted the Sunday card at Tioga
Downs.
In the third division of the day, Jason Bartlett steered JK Fine Art to her fourth victory of the year in five starts for trainer Linda Toscano.
Bartlett grabbed control of the mile through an opening quarter in a speed :26.2. JK Fine Art continued to lead the field of eight fillies through fractions of :56.1 and 1:24.4 before heavy pressure was put down on her. Table Games and Brandon Simpson pulled out of the two hole rounding the final turn and looked as though the duo were going to go by, however JK Fine Art was tough as nails on the lead hanging on to win in 1:54.4. Arm In Arm (Howard Parker) got up for second, while Weekend Getaway (Phil Fluet) closed quickly for third.
The two-year-old daughter of Art Major–Presidential Lady is owned by the 3 Brothers Stable of New York, and William Jacobwoitz of New Jersey.
