Harness racing driver Aaron Byron had a grand slam at Tioga Downs on Saturday (September 7).

Byron finished first with Spittin Chicklets, Beantown Babe, Reconcile, and Red Dirt Flash.

Sweet Cheyenne (Huntsville) (Tyler Miller) captures featured $11,000 fillies & mares’ pace.

No Cigar Tony (Mike Merton) first to the quarter in :27.4.  April Ava (Markus Miller) took the lead with a circuit to go and was first to the half in :57.4.  Jenden Strike A (Ron Cushing) came first-up to challenge heading down the backstretch.  April Ava led to three quarters in 1:25.0.

As they reached the stretch Sweet Cheyenne ($2.70) came flying three-wide and got on by to win in 1:53.1.  April Ava had to settle for second. Jenden Strike A finished third.

Sweet Cheyenne is a 4-year-old mare by Huntsville.  She is owned by Pollack Racing and trained by Jeff Cullipher.  It was her fourth win this season and her 11th career victory.
