Trainer Jackie Greene and driver Billy Dobson scored a feature win at Saratoga Casino Hotel for the second consecutive afternoon when their Alittlesidehustl N parlayed a pocket ride to victory on Tuesday, April 8.

On Tuesday, Alittlesidehustl N was the 9-5 betting favourite for her try in the $22,857 Fillies and Mares Open. Dobson made it to the lead with the seven-year-old mare, who made over $135,000 in 2024. Once Alittlesidehustl N got to the front-end, she was confronted by rival Violets Rainbow (Brett Beckwith), who was aggressive in pursuit of the lead. Violets Rainbow backed it down in the second quarter to reach the half in :57.3 before checking in at three-quarters in 1:26.3 while bracing for Alittlesidehustl N, who was biding her time in the two-hole. Dobson popped the pocket around the final turn and the Greene trainee roared past her rival in the stretch to score in 1:56.2. Violets Rainbow was a strong second in the feature while longshot Truly (Leon Bailey) earned the show spot. 

Alittlesidehustl N’s win was her second in the Open this season. The daughter of Hes Watching is owned by Kellogg Racing and Jackie Greene Stables.

Live harness racing continues on Wednesday, April 9 with a matinee that begins at 12 p.m.
