YONKERS, NY, Friday, November 13,
2015—Sell a Bit N (Jordan Stratton, $11.60) went the distance and repeated
Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $40,000 Filly and Mare Open Handicap
Pace.
Rarin’ to go from post position No. 7,
Sell a Bit N worked around Medusa (George Brennan) and was then left without
much in the way of adult supervision.
So, she toyed with her rivals (:28, :57.1,
1:25.3, 1:53.2), easily whipping a second-over Al Raza N (Eric Carlson) by
three-quarters of a length. Medusa, a first-up Dune in Red (Brian Sears) and
Stormunn (Brent Holland) rounded out the payees. As for 3-2 favorite Krispy
Apple (Matt Kakaley), she wound up seventh, done in by a non-leave from an
eight-hole in a paceless race.
Stratton won five of the evening’s dozen
races.
For third
choice Sell a Bit N, a 5-year-old Down Under daughter of Julius Caesar owned by
Harry von Knoblauch and trained by Peter Tritton, it was her seventh win in 18
seasonal starts. The exacta paid $37.20, the triple returned $221.50 and the
superfecta paid $2,270.
