More than 3,800 people went to Tioga Downs for the opening of the track's 2007 season on Friday, May 11. Patrons were met at the front door with free Tioga Downs t-shirts and posters to the first 1,000 people in the door.
Keystone Celeste and Todd Schadel took the opening round of The Southern Tier Trot in gate-to-wire fashion. The 3-year-old daughter of Yankee Glide romped home by more than 7 lengths on her way to a new lifetime mark of 1:57.4.
In the Tioga County Pace So Tuffian (Brian Mattison), Chinatown K (Jim Morrill Jr.), and Polar Queen (Jim Taggart Jr.) all took their respective divisions. Polar Queen turned in the fastest time of the three divisions in 1:55.3. Leaving from post position 10, Taggart did not make it to the front with filly until the half. Polar Queen went on to a 1-1/1 length score for owner-trainer Richard Roadarmel of Bloomsburg, Pa. (Dustin Ross for Tioga Downs)
