Trainer Jackie Greene and driver Billy Dobson scored a feature win at Saratoga Casino Hotel for the second consecutive afternoon when on Tuesday their Alittlesidehustl N parlayed a pocket ride to victory. Greene and Dobson teamed up for the winner of Monday’s feature as Busting With Pride who pulled off the upset in the Open Trot. On Tuesday, Alittlesidehustl N was the 9-5 betting favorite for her try in the $16,000 Fillies and Mares Open. Dobson made it to the lead with the seven year old mare who came up just shy of reaching the six-figure mark in earnings in 2024. Once Alittlesidehustl N got to the front-end, she was confronted by rival Violets Rainbow (Brett Beckwith) who was aggressive in pursuit of the lead. Violets Rainbow backed it down in the second quarter to reach the half in 57.3 before checking in at three-quarters in 1:26.3 while bracing for Alittlesidehustl N who was biding her time in the two-hole. Dobson popped the pocket around the final turn and the Greene trained roared past her rival in the stretch to score in 1:56.2. Violets Rainbow was a strong second in the ladies’ feature while longshot Truly (Leon Bailey) earned the show spot. Alittlesidehustl N’s win was her second in the Open this season. She is owned by Kellogg Racing and Jackie Greene Stables.
Live racing continues on Wednesday with a matinee that begins at 12pm.
