Dougs Babe A goes down the pike in $39,000 Invitational

Friday’s (June 7) harness racing feature at Yonkers Raceway was the $39,000 Fillies & Mares Invitational Pace, and Dougs Babe A (Western Terror) and driver Austin Siegelman led through fractions of :26.3, :55, 1:23.2, then held on through the lane to win by a nose over pocket-sitter Coachellabound N (Jason Bartlett). Golden Quest N (George Brennan) collected third.

A 7-year-old mare, Dougs Babe A is trained by Nifty Norman for owners Tom Vassiliou, Nicholas Tallarico and Enzed Racing Stable Inc. This was her 21st career win, she has now earned $431,963 and she paid $9.90 to win as a 7-2 offering. The exacta was worth $39.80, and the trifecta kicked back $93.00.
