Slight favourite Sell A Bit N (Jordan Stratton, $6.30) continued her distaff derby dominance Friday night, winning Yonkers Raceway’s $40,000 Filly and Mare Open Handicap Pace for a fourth consecutive victory.

Ordered outside her seven rivals, Sell A Bit N paid a :27.4, opening-quarter price to get around Skippin By (Brian Sears). That one wanted no part of an early seat behind Stormunn (Brent Holland).

From there, no issues for the people’s preference, as she completed her rounds (:57.1, 1:25.2, 1:53.2) for a comfy win. After a mild, first-up bid from Carolsideal (Dan Dube), Sell A Bit N easily closed the sale. The final margin was a length and a quarter over Request For Parole (George Brennan), with Skippin By, Al Raza N (Eric Carlson) and Jonsie Jones (Tyler Buter) completing the cashers.

For Sell A Bit N, a five-year-old Down Under daughter of Julius Caesar owned by Harry von Knoblauch and trained by Peter Tritton, the win was her ninth in 20 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $26.80, with the triple returning $82.
