Shes Nun Bettor N (Bettors Delight) prevailed in a tight harness racing finish over So Much More for the second straight week at Woodbine Mohawk Park, this time in the $32,000 Fillies and Mares Preferred Handicap.
Shes Nun Bettor N switched tactics from recent starts and flashed gate speed to take the three-hole. Just Daisy (Chris Christoforou) supplied a :27 opening quarter and hit the half in :56.3 as Doug McNair right-lined Shes Nun Bettor N to kick off a first-over charge.
The mare made little progress to three-quarters in 1:24.1 but grinded down the leader in the lane. She muscled to the front in deep-stretch and withstood a last-gasp surge from So Much More (James MacDonald) to win by a head in 1:51.3.
Shes Got It All (Bob McClure) was a length-and-three-quarters adrift in third. Despite the previous result between the top two, the winner was sent off at 8-1.
