Saratoga Springs, NY – Alittlesidehustl N (He’s Watching) recorded her fourth win in the Fillies and Mares Open at Saratoga Casino Hotel in 2024 when on Monday afternoon (Nov. 4); the Jackie Greene-trained distaffer went wire-to-wire.
Billy Dobson drove Alittlesidehustl N in the $15,000 feature and moved the 6-year-old out to the early lead in a race that saw her as the 7-5 betting favorite. The Greene trainee motored in the first lap en route to first-half fractions of :26.4 and :56 seconds.
Last week’s Open winner Racy Roxy A (Jay Randall) charged up towards the favored leader who checked in at three quarters in 1:24.1 but Alittlesidehustl N was undaunted as she prevailed by a length in a mile clocked in 1:53, a time that matched the lifetime mark of the talented mare.
With the earnings from Monday’s Open win, Alittlesidehustl N moved her career bankroll to over the $300,000 mark following her fourth victory in the local Open in ’24. Racy Roxy A finished second on Monday to continue a stretch that has seen her finish first or second in nine of her last 11 starts while Arizona (Wally Hennessey), one of the most successful mares in the ladies’ Open this season at Saratoga, earned the show spot.
Alittlesidehustl N, who is owned by Kellogg Racing Stables and Jackie Greene Stables, paid $4.90 to win and led an exacta and triple that returned $40.60 and $77, respectively.
Live racing continues on Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 5) at Saratoga with a matinee that begins at noon.
