Fashion Terror and Braxten Boyd dig in to win

Fashion Terror (Huntsville) and harness racing driver Braxten Boyd take the featured $10,000 fillies & mares’ pace at Tioga Downs on Friday (May 9).

Sweet Carollou (Tyler Miller) led to the quarter in :28.1.  Fashion Terror ($2.70) took over control with a circuit to go and was first to the half in :56.1.  American Hope (Jim Taggert Jr.) was first to make a move going first-over down the backstretch.  Fashion Terror then widened the lead and led to three-quarters in 1:24.2.

As they reached the stretch second place finisher American Hope started to close the gap but Fashion Terror dug in and won in 1:54.1.  Sweet Carollou settled for third best.

Fashion Terror is a 3-year-old filly by Huntsville.  She is owned by All Star Racing Inc., and trained by Mark Ford.  It was her second win this season.  She now has six career victories.
