Two more track records fell Sunday at Tioga Downs and it was as early as the first race of the card when My True Delight and Howard Parker won in 1:53.1 to establish a new mark for 4-year-old pacing mares.

Parker sent the daughter of Bettor�s Delight first-over to attack through a :27.3 third quarter before clearing at the three-quarter pole in 1:24.2. The Judith Lanpher-owned and trained pacing mare used a crisp :28.4 final panel to seal the deal in the opening leg of the Tioga Tyranny Pacing Series.

Khifra Hanover shattered the trotting record for aged mare trotters on Sunday in just her first trip around the Tioga Downs' track with a mile of 1:54.3. It was the second straight week the 5-year old daughter of Lindy Lane has lowered her lifetime mark for owner Julianna Sue Edwards of Sacramento, Calif.

Khifra Hanover left from the rail in the $15,000 Open Handicap Trot with Parker in the bike, and she then used a strong three-wide move down the backside to clear to the front and stroll home for trainer John Stephenson.

Too Salty shocked the crowd at Tioga when the 3-year old trotter made a break halfway through the last turn in the $22,500 final of the Susquehanna Trotting Series. They were twice as shocked when three quarters of the way down the stretch when the son of SJ�s Caviar was trotting up a storm to get back to the wire first in 1:58. Trained by Doug Miller and driven by Ray Schnittker, it was the fourth win for Too Salty who now carries more than $20,000 in earnings in just six lifetime starts.

Parker enjoyed his Sunday afternoon with five trips to the winner�s circle while Mike Simons and Schnittker each posted driving doubles. (Tioga Downs)
