Kinnder Thinktwice captures Tioga feature

Kinnder Thinktwice (Wheeling N Dealin, Jim Taggart Jr.) captures the $15,000 Open Handicap harness racing trot at Tioga Downs on Saturday (Aug. 10).

Makadushin N Cheez (Ridge Warren) was first to the quarter in :27.2.  Kinnder Thinktwice ($4.30) then took over control and led to the half in :56.1 and to three-quarters in 1:25.1.

As they reached the stretch second place finisher May Baby (Braxten Boyd) came all out after the leader but Kinnder Thinktwice was too strong and won in 1:54.1.  Stonebridge Bomber (Aaron Byron) finished third.

Kinnder Thinktwice is a 4-year-old horse owned by John Marshall and trainer Susan Marshall.  It was his eighth win this season and his 14th career victory.
