Saratoga Springs, NY — With no Fillies and Mares Open on the docket on Tuesday afternoon (April 16) at Saratoga Casino Hotel, an $11,500 event for fillies and mares served as the feature.

Pacing mare Truly was the public’s even-money betting favorite in the race after drawing post two and adding Lasix for the try.

Billy Dobson piloted the Andy Sardella-trained distaffer who wasted little time moving to the front in the feature. Truly clicked off a fast :27.2 first panel before backing it down and reaching the half in :57.2. The favorite’s main threat came in the stretch when pocket-sitting Luck B Mine (Mcgwire Sowers) closed up the inside. The chase proved futile as Truly stopped the timer in 1:55 for her fifth win in nine seasonal starts.

Luck B Mine completed an exacta that paid $26.60 while longshot HS Shauna (Jordan Derue) earned the show spot and rounded out a $701 triple.

Truly is owned by Mike and Bill Pozefsky.

Dobson had a big day on Tuesday as he piloted five winners on the card, three of which came for trainer Jaymes McAssey.

Live racing resumes on Saturday evening with a 5 p.m. start.
