Down Under Winners from North America – 27th September

La Bella Vita (Changeover), a New Zealand bred mare, pushed her seasonal harness racing earnings over the $100,000 when she won a $16,000 Fillies and Mares Open at Saratoga Raceway, New York on Monday night (September 19).

The mare settled down last in the five-horse field, before launching a three-wide bid to overwhelm her rivals in 1:52.4. It was her eighth success for the season.

LA BELLA VITA REPLAY

Meanwhile, the Betterthancheddar gelding Parmesan NZ took full advantage of a soft trip to win by a neck in 1:51.2 at Pocono Downs, Pennsylvania.

A pair of Australian-bred pacers in Islandspecialajor (1:49.2) and No Win No Feed (1:50) became the latest to enter the 1:50 list.
