Shezza GNP N was win No. 2 for the 37-year-old driver, as her back class showed in race eight in defeating a mid-range conditioned field of filly and mare pacers in 1:52.2. The 8-5 favorite, trained by Peter Tritton, paid $5.20 to win.

With aggressive handling from Tetrick, the Jeff Cullipher-trained Resita made the lead while parked at the quarter in :27.3 in the 11th race and went down the road from there in a mid-range conditioned trot. As the fourth choice in the betting, Resita returned $14.20 after finishing the mile in 1:53.2.

Tetrick completed his four-bagger in the next race, scoring with 2-1 second choice Whiskersonkittens for trainer Rick Dane Jr. in 1:52.2 in a low-range conditioned pace for fillies and mares. She paid $6.20 to win.

A Little More: Dexter Dunn drove three winners on the card.

All-source handle totaled $2,890,791, thanks in part to race eight which saw $326,266 pushed through the windows. The 50-cent Pick-4 pool was $88,789, and was outdone by the exacta pot, which totaled $90,825. The Can-Am Pick-4 saw its biggest payout yet, as a 29-1 shot at Woodbine Mohawk Park in the wager’s third leg helped bloat the payoff to $1,260.57 for the winning combination of 10-6-5-10.

Racing resumes Saturday at 7:15 p.m. with the Cutler and Graduate sitting atop the marquee.
