Reflections on Pompano Park from Mohawk’s Tyler Jones

Tyler Jones was driving at Woodbine Mohawk Park last Thursday (Jan. 12). The card was cancelled due to unexpectedly warm weather. Jones drove two horses in the Saturday morning qualifiers at WMP. He was part of the final season of live racing at Pompano Park, which began on Oct. 1, 2021 and concluded on April 17, 2022. It was a mild winter at Mohawks Park. Last season Jones finished 15th among Ontario Sires Stakes drivers. Kevin Wallis announced his retirement after winning with Latest Attraction at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
