Frondeur gets up in final strides at Tioga

Frondeur (A Rocknroll Dance) and harness racing driver Ridge Warren captured the $10,000 fillies & mares’ pace at Tioga Downs on Friday (May 11).

No Cigar Tony (Mike Merton) went right to the front as Fronduer ($7.50) followed right in the pocket.  No Cigar Tony was first to the quarter in :26.4.  She used a :29.1 second quarter and led to the half in :56.0.  She was first to three-quarters in 1:24.2.

As they made the turn for home Frondeur popped the pocket and wore down second place finisher No Cigar Tony and won in 1:54.4.  Prairie Magical (Jim Taggert Jr.) was third.

Frondeur is a 4-year-old mare owned by Shim Racing and trained by Erv Miller.  It was her second win this season.  She now has six career victories.
