Howd Ya Like That Prevails

Published: May 10, 2018 04:42 pm EDT

Howd Ya Like That, by Howd That Feel, put in a career-best performance during the Thursday (May 10) feature at Saratoga Casino Hotel.

Laurie Tranowicz has trained the four-year-old mare from the start of her career. On Thursday, during Saratoga’s $9,000 feature for New York-sired trotters, Tranowicz saw Howd Ya Like That stop the timer in 1:58.4.

Bruce Aldrich Jr. piloted Howd Ya Like That, who wound up taking over the lead when the race’s two leaders each made breaks approaching the three-quarters pole.

Howd Ya Like That then held off fellow mare Lasa Dida Lady (driven by John Stark Jr.) to prevail by the slimmest of margins. Lasa Dida Lady was the runner-up while Mind Your Manners (Mickey McGivern) earned the show spot.

In what was her first victory of the season, Howd Ya Like That went off at odds of 4-1 and led an exacta and triple that returned $58 and $253.50, respectively.

Live racing at Saratoga will continue on Friday night with a first-race post time of 6:45 p.m.
