YONKERS, NY, Friday, November 20, 2015—Sell
a Bit N (Jordan Stratton, $7.50) continued her roll Friday night, winning
Yonkers Raceway’s $40,000 Filly and Mare Open Handicap Pace.
The race took on a
different dynamic after Krispy Apple came up ill. That left Sell a Bit N—now
from post position No. 7—with an easier path to pursue. She worked around
Request for Parole (George Brennan) then completed the course (:27.1, :56.3,
1:25, 1:53.1), disposing of a first-up Jonsie Jones (Tyler Buter) along the
way.
Sell a Bit N held sway Request for Parole
by a three-quarters of a length, with slight 2-1 choice Al Raza N ( Eric
Carlson) showing up late and losing the place photo. Narcian Jewel (Matt
Kakaley) and UF Dragon’s Queen (Mark MacDonald) rounded out the payees.
For second
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 eighth win (third
consecutive) in 19 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $23.40, the triple returned
$93 and the superfecta paid $644.
