A last-to-first Kaitlyn N picked off her four rivals Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $40,000 Filly and Mare Open Handicap Pace.

Watching from the outside post position in the quintet, favoured Kaitlyn N was at the rear for driver Jason Bartlett as Itty Bitty (Dan Dube) led through early intervals of :27.3 and :57.2.

Pole-sitter Wishy Washy Girl (Joe Bongiorno) was pocketed and Feelin Red Hot (George Brennan) eventually moved first-up from fourth.

The later engaged the leader in and out of a 1:25.3 three-quarters, with a second-over Kaitlyn N getting dragged into contention.

The people’s preference then moved widest and fastest through the lane, prevailing by a length-and-a-half in 1:54.4.

A reserved Sandy Win (Eric Goodell) did get into second, with Wishy Washy Girl, Itty Bitty and Feelin Red Hot rounding out the order of finishers/payees.

For Kaitlyn N, a seven-year-old Down Under daughter of American Ideal co-owned by (trainer) Richard Banca and James & Barbara Boese, it was a winning seasonal debut. She paid $4.90 to win.
