Shartin N, the 1-5 favourite driven by Tim Tetrick, took command early and held off a charging Caviart Ally and Andy McCarthy by three-quarters of a length to win the $179,550 Golden Girls TVG for pacing mares, covering a mile and an eighth in 2:02.1.

Apple Bottom Jeans took third at 19-1, and 15-1 Seaswift Joy N finished fourth.

“My trainer (Jim King, Jr.) told me that we were good to go off the layoff and that’s who I believe,” said owner JoAnn Looney-King. “She is so easy and is such a happy horse. I’m so blessed to have this mare.”

Shartin N, who paid $2.40 to win, recorded her ninth straight victory and her 10th of 11 starts this season, and she captured career win number 36 in 48 lifetime starts.
