Doo Wop Hanover and driver Jim Meittinis won the Tioga Downs' $9,000 feature pace on Sunday afternoon (May 6).

Andreios Kardia (Aaron Byron) led the way to the first quarter mark of :28.1. Doo Wop Hanover took control right after that putting up the rest of the fractions (:56.2, 1:24.1, 1:53.1). Owned by Peter Blood and Rick Berks while trained by Mike Deters, the gelding held off a late charge by Andreios Kardia to secure the victory. Thats My Opinion (Austin Siegelman) finished third.

Doo Wop Hanover is a seven-year-old gelding by Rocknroll Hanover. He won for the third time this season and secured his 17th career victory.

Aaron Byron, Drew Monti, Fern Paquet Jr., and Mike Merton all secured racing doubles on the day.
