YONKERS, NY, Friday, October 30,
2015—Favored Krispy Apple (Jason Bartlett, $3.40) was too good for the rest of
the ladies Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $40,000 Filly and Mare Open
Handicap Pace.
Seated an early fifth from an assigned
eight-hole, Krispy Apple watched as Cinamony (George Brennan) worked around
Sensationalgabby A. After a :27.2 opening quarter-mile and cheapy :57.2
intermission, it was Krispy Apple moving again.
She encountered no resistance in and out
of a 1:25.1 three-quarters, taking a 2¼-length lead into the lane. Three lasses
across took up the chase, but Krispy Apple finished it off. She defeated Al
Raza N (Eric Carlson) by a couple of lengths in 1:53.2
Third went to Cinamony, with Jonsie Jones
and Stormunn (Jordan Stratton) settling for the remainder.
For Krispy
Apple, a 7-year-old daughter of Western Ideal co-owned by Bamond Racing &
Joseph Davino and trained by Jeffrey Bamond Jr., it was her 11th win
in 24 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $18.60, with the triple returning $82.
