Tioga Downs played host for two harness racing divisions of the New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) for 2-year-old pacing fillies on Sunday (July 20).

Savage Cindy (Tyler Buter) fires late to win the $54,500 first division.

Odds On Enigma (Matt Kakaley) went to the front and led to the quarter in :26.3.  She used a :30.0 second quarter to be first to the half in :56.3.  Surreal Spirit (Leon Bailey) came first-up going down the backstretch and took over the lead and was first to three-quarters in 1:25.0.

As they made the turn for home second place finisher Surreal Spirit widened the lead, but Savage Cindy ($9.40) would run her down in deep stretch to get her first career win in 1:54.0.   Party Pumps (Braxten Boyd) finished third.
