There is a lot to like about racing at Tioga and some new ideas are being incorporated into the meet, including a few Late Closers with attractive purses.

“Racing at Tioga Downs means summertime to me,” said Jason Settlemoir, Tioga’s Vice-President of Racing. “It’s got a full casino so it doesn't matter if our betting pools are small.  It's great for the few fans that come to have fun even though it's located in the middle of nowhere.  Hopefully the purse bump will attract some of the barns that really aren't competitive at the Meadowlands.”

Those sound like a lot of backhanded compliments from JS.  He is essentially thanking the losers who actually showed up to watch the loser barns who are racing there.  What a fucking idiot this guy is!

Tioga used to be a fun place to attend the races. They had great cards on Sunday with good drivers as well. Not sure what happened. As reported Im from the Batavia, NY area and used to take the 2plus hour ride on some Sundays. Not anymore.

Tioga is the Summer place to be for buggy racing just like Saratoga is the summer place for torobreds

Instead of the TUCKS judge for the Meadowlands, Tioga needs a SUCKS judge!

stalemate was a little loose with the (“…”) marks attributed to Settlemoir. That said, if you want to speak with his boss, Tioga’s a good place to start.
