Catch an Ace (Jason Bartlett, $6) rallied from third-over Monday night (March 25th), winning Yonkers Raceway’s $58,000 ‘blanketed’ final of the Petticoat Pacing Series.

Though open to 3- and 4-year-old ladies (non-winners of four races and/or $40,000 through last Dec. 1st), no ‘youngsters’ qualified for the finale.

Away fifth from post position No. 5, Catch an Ace watched as outside numbers Cabowabocuttie (Jordan Stratton) and Ghosttothepost (Yannick Gingras) both left hard.

The pair looped 9-5 favorite Robyn Camden (Dexter Dunn), who was hung up three-wide early (outside the eventual winner) before settling in sixth. Cabowabocuttie seated Ghosttothepost, then led through intervals of a flat 28 seconds and :58.1.

Odds on Ashley (Matt Kakaley) was the first to take the bait, moving from third. She towed Ella is Awesome (Joe Bongiorno) and Catch an Ace, while the hellish trip of Robyn Camden saw her fourth-over.

Cabowabocuttie maintained her lead in and out of a 1:26.4 three-quarters, about the time Catch an Ace went three-deep around Ella is Awesome.

The lead remained unchanged off the final turn, with Cabowabocuttie owning a length-and-three-quarter advantage. The lass would give way—grudgingly—in the scrum to the line. Catch an Ace picked off a stubborn Odds on Ashley by a head, with Robyn Camden widest of all, the circuitous route ending with her finishing third, beaten just a neck.

Cabowabocuttie and Ghosttothepost rounded out the payees….the first four finishers separated by that neck, while the quintet of payees were divided by a length-and-three-quarters.

Ella is Awesome, Bye Hanover (George Brennan) Parkin’ in Heaven (Tyler Buter) completed the order.

“I thought I was in a bad spot,” Bartlett said. “Fortunately, they came back to us.

“I mean, she can leave, but I did not want cut the mile. She needs a helmet to chase. I figured...

Some insights into tonight’s racing program for our IdaBet players:

1ST RACE – (2) MANTARIO earned eight-hole, four-eyeball in local debut, taking coin, needing lane room. Move inside six places won’t help price, however.

3RD RACE – (2) MI NINA BONITA goes second off bench after even effort to begin season. The lone soph needn’t be scared of any of her elders in this group.

5TH RACE – (7) AMERICAN VENTURE was gazed in latest after claimed, ducking inside from third-over. Would not be stunned if stuck with same trip here. .
6TH RACE – (2) I’VESEENTHE FUTURE has lost 34-of-36 career tries, but efforts in Petticoat comparable to any of these. Take a shot in consolation of series.

7TH RACE – (5) ALEPPO HANOVER offered nothing in first two ’19 tries, both from seven-hole. Perhaps there’s license to improve with a bit better getaway.

10TH RACE – (3) PROVOCATIVEPRINCEN is not number he was in past life. But, well-placed in dressed-up (except back marker), 10-horse gang for class.

$2 +/ – (thru Thu., March 21) – 49 wins ($307.90)
from 299 ($598) selex (-$290.10, keep those cards and letters coming)

highest-priced winner – MALNIFICENT ($24)
lowest-priced winner – SEASWIFT JOY N ($2.50)
