Let It Ride N didn’t disappoint his backers as the 1-9 favourite in the $25,000 Open Pace on Saturday (Dec. 3) at Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway.
Let It Ride N had his eyes set on finish line as soon as the gate opened. Guided by Tony Hall, the nine-year-old gelding went straight to the front. Unchallenged the entire mile, Let It Ride N easily posted fractions in :27.4, :56.3 and 1:23.3 before opening up by six lengths. He cruised across the finish line in 1:50.3. The 60-1 longshot Fan Of Terror was second with Patrickthepiranha A finishing third.
Let It Ride N has been a terror at the Open level. Trained by Michael Hitchcock, the gelded son of Rock N Roll Heaven has hit the board 25 of 32 tries. With 12 seasonal wins, Let It Ride N has banked $246,926 in 2022. Saturday's victory further pushed the gelding over $700,000 in lifetime earnings. He is owned in partnership by William Hartt and Enzed Racing Stable.
Live racing will resume Tuesday (Dec. 6) at Dayton Raceway with first post at 4 p.m. (EST).
