YONKERS,
NY, Friday, October 28, 2016—Favored Krispy Apple (Jason Bartlett, $4.80)
lasted on the lead Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $45,000 Filly and
Mare Open Handicap Pace.
Away
quickly from post position No. 5, Krispy Apple was strung out by Moma’s Got a
Gun (Tyler Buter), then made the lead before a :27.2 opening quarter-mile.
From
there, she finished it off (:56.4, 1:24.3, 1:52.4), getting the line a nose
before ‘Moma’ and a head before a stretch-smokin’ Mach it a Par (Jordan
Stratton).
Diva’s
Image (Mark MacDonald) and a first-up Devil Child (Dan Dube) rounded out the
payees.
For Krispy Apple, a 8-year-old, $1.7 million
daughter of Western Ideal co-owned by Bamond Racing and Joseph Davino and
trained by Jeffrey Bamond Jr., it was her seventh win in 20 seasonal starts.
The exacta paid $24.80, with the triple returning $158.50.
