TEASER'S TICKLE WINS $100,000 MOUNTAINEER CLASSIC

Favorite Teaser’s Tickle took charge early and never looked back in capturing the $100,000 Mountaineer Classic Saturday afternoon at Wheeling Island.

Breaking from the one hole, the Lester Raines Kennel sprinter rushed up to the lead around the first turn, then opened up a 2-length cushion down the backstretch before winning by 2 ½ lengths in a quick 29.58. Abbi’s Eagle (Jacobs Racing) took runner up honors while Penrose Boss (Blanchard) rounded out the trifecta ticket.

Completing the final order of finish were RS’s Dark Night (Lester Raines), fourth; Ding Dong Ditch (Imark), fifth; Abbi’s Frontman (Jacobs Racing), sixth; CTW Black Forest (Steve Sarras), seventh; and Frappe (Blanchard), eighth.

Teaser’s Tickle, a September 2019 greyhound out of Bella Infrared-Beautiful Tease, is trained by Joel Roden and owned by Suzanne Blair. In 14 career races, he has 9 wins, 1 second and 1 third.
