Aruba Vacation and Fern Paquet Jr. captured Sunday
afternoon's $16,500 featured open handicap trot at Tioga Downs.
Leaving from
post position number three, Aruba Vacation controlled the field through
fractions of 27.3, 57.1, and 1:25.1. Around the final turn Paquet asked Aruba
to repel the first over challenge of All About Justice (Mike Simons), and he
responded hanging on to win by a length in 1:55.
It was the third win in 16 seasonal starts for Aruba
Vacation who returned $20.20 for the win. Guy Howard trains the 5-year-old homebred
son of Dream Vacation – Dixie Hit, and with the win increased his seasonal
earnings to more than $50,000.
All About Justice (Mike Simons) hung on for
second despite the first over trip, while Green Day (Howard Parker) was third.
