Nichols, NY — Tioga Downs announces their 2015 late-closing program for 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds, and also advises horsemen that stall applications are now available online.

As in past seasons, the Morrisville College Sale Trot (for horses, colts and geldings), Williams Auto Trot (fillies and mares), Nichols True Value Pace (horses, colts and geldings) and M&J Oil & Lube Pace (fillies and mares) will feature entrants who have not won five pari-mutuel races or $60,000 through the end of March.

Both trotting series will culminate in $40,000 (est.) finals on Sunday (June 21), while the pacing series will wrap up with $40,000 (est.) finals on Sunday (June 28).

The nomination fee is $400 per horse, and is made payable to Tioga Downs (2384 W. River Rd., Nichols NY 13812) no later than Wednesday (April 1). Please be advised the deadline for nomination is earlier than in past years.
