KDK Standardbreds' Apple Bottom Jeans ($4.40, Russell Foster) was a 1:52.4 winner despite having to overcome the outside post Tuesday, June 5 in the $15,000 Mares Open at Harrington Raceway.

Sayulita marched to the early lead from post-position 4, where she led the seven-horse field most of the way unchallenged until a first-over Empress Deo applied pressure. At the top of the stretch, Apple Bottom Jeans gathered momentum from the final turn and exploded with pace to the lead to win. Sayulita held second with Fashion Showdown third.

The five-year-old Mr Apples mare registered her fourth win of the season for trainer Kevin Switzer. Apple Bottom Jeans has been well-traveled this year, racing against top mares in three different states over the past two months.
