Shes So Savvy, last season's state-bred divisional champ in the two-year-old pacing filly category, made her Yonkers Raceway return a successful one
Tuesday night when she captured her $43,960 division of the New York Sires Stakes.
With Howard Okusko, Jr. taking his usual seat, Shes So Savvy, who was sent off as the odds-on favourite from post position two, defeated New Hampshire Girl Atia in 2:00. For Shes So Savvy, a daughter of Malabar Man trained by Jessica Okusko, the win was her second of the season and the seventh in her career.
"She's about the same as she was (at two)," driver Okusko said. "She's a handy filly, but she was slipping a bit. I had to take hold, and that's not like her. We're going to have to work on her shoeing before next week (another NYSS leg here). It's good to have her come back at three, but there are some other talented ones in her division."
Tuesday night's other NYSS events were won by Brandnewgirlfriend (2:01), Michelles Way (1:59.3), Porque (2:01) and Social Butterfly (1:59.4).
