YONKERS, NY, Friday, November 27,
2015—Slight favorite Sell a Bit N (Jordan Stratton, $6.30) continued her
distaff derby dominance Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $40,000 Filly
and Mare Open Handicap Pace for a fourth consecutive victory.
Ordered outside her seven rivals, Sell a
Bit N paid a :27.4, opening-quarter price to get around Skippin’ By (Brian
Sears). That one wanted no part of an early seat behind Stormunn (Brent
Holland).
From there, no issues for the people’s
preference, as she completed her rounds (:57.1, 1:25.2, 1:53.2) for a comfy
win. After a mild, first-up bid from Carolsideal (Dan Dube), Sell a Bit easily
closed the sale. The final margin was a length-and-a-quarter over Request for
Parole (George Brennan), with Skippin’ By, Al Raza N (Eric Carlson) and Jonsie
Jones (Tyler Buter) completing the cashers.
For 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 ninth win in 20 seasonal
starts. The exacta paid $26.80, with the triple returning $82
