Favoured Bedroomconfessions was first home from second-over Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $50,000 Filly and Mare Open Handicap Pace.
Unhurried from post position No. 4 for driver Scott Zeron, Bedroomconfessions watched as pole-assigned Empress Deo (Matt Kakaley) was the lone leaver. The other lasses quickly demurred through soft early intervals of :28.2 and :57.1.
Passing the intermission, Delightful Dragon (Brent Holland) took out of third, giving the people’s choice a lass to latch onto. Empress Deo maintained her advantage in and out of a 1:25.2 three-quarters, taking a length-and-a-half lead into the lane. However, after buried alive a week ago, Bedroomconfessions had no issue finding an open lane here. She powered past the leader, winning by three-quarters of a length in 1:53.2. Empress Deo held second, with Delightful Dragon, Motu Moonbeam N (Mark MacDonald) and a pocketed Arielle Lynn (Jason Bartlett) settling for the remainder.
For Bedroomconfessions, a five-year-old daughter of American Ideal co-owned (as Alagna Racing) by (trainer) Tony Alagna and Riverview Racing, it was her first win in a pair of seasonal starts. She paid $5.30 to win.
