Alittlesidehustl N recorded her fourth win in the Fillies and Mares Open Handicap Pace at Saratoga Casino Hotel in 2024 when the Jackie Greene-trained distaffer went wire-to-wire on Monday, Nov. 4.
Billy Dobson drove Alittlesidehustl N in the $20,833 feature and moved the six-year-old daughter of Hes Watching out to the early lead. The 7-5 betting favourite motored in the first lap en route to first-half fractions of :26.4 and 56 seconds. Last week’s Open winner, Racy Roxy A (Jay Randall), charged up towards the favoured leader, who checked in at three-quarters in 1:24.1, but Alittlesidehustl N was undaunted as she prevailed by a length in a mile clocked in 1:53, a time that matched the lifetime mark of the talented mare. Racy Roxy A finished second on Monday to continue a stretch that has seen her finish first or second in nine of her last 11 starts while Arizona (Wally Hennessey) earned the show spot.
Alittlesidehustl N, who is owned by Kellogg Racing Stables and Jackie Greene Stables, paid $4.90 to win and led an exacta and triple that returned $40.60 and $77, respectively. With the earnings from Monday’s Open win, Alittlesidehustl N moved her career bankroll over the $330,000 mark.
Live harness racing continues on Tuesday afternoon at Saratoga with a matinee that begins at 12 p.m.
