A three-wide move by Y Mach Me turned out to be the winning move for the mare who powered away from the competition en route to an impressive score in Thursday’s $9,000 Fillies & Mares Open at Northfield Park.
Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. got away fourth with Y Mach Me while Special Lady D and Eradikate took turns on the lead through first-half fractions of :28.2 and :59.1. Wrenn and Y Mach Me caught cover going to the half, and they were three-wide and rolling as the field sped past the three-quarter pole in 1:29.2. A :28.2 closing quarter helped propel Y Mach Me to a two-length triumph over Canaco Star in 1:57.4. Shes Glorious was a distant third.
