Kaitlyn N Making A Splash Stateside
Kaitlyn N, one of four New Zealand imports to have begun racing for trainer Joshua Parker in May, earned her fourth win in five North American starts by taking a new mark of 1:52 in Wednesday afternoon's (June 6) $17,000 featured pace for fillies and mares at Harrah's Philadelphia.
Driver Art Stafford Jr. took control just after the quarter pole with the American Ideal mare, and she finished with a :55.1 back half-mile to be 2-1/4 lengths ahead at the finish. Trainer Parker is co-owner of the promising distaff with Nanticoke Racing Inc. and Barry Spedden. With the victory, Kaitlyn N increased her American earnings to $26,000.
