Saratoga Harness: Bare My Soul, Little Pink Lies tally in NYSS

Bare My Soul and Little Pink Lies delivered as the heavy favorites in a pair of New York Sire Stakes races for 3-year-old trotting fillies on Sunday night at Saratoga Casino Hotel.

Driver Scott Zeron landed in third with Bare My Soul in the first $82,500 section, but he had her out and on the move going to the 28 2/5 opening quarter. Bare My Soul cleared Gettinmystepsin (Tyler Miller) to take charge after that station, and from there, Bare My Soul clicked off a 58 second half and a 1:27 2/5 three-quarters before stepping home in 28 3/5 to defeat a gaining Pure Countess (Ake Svanstedt) by a length and a quarter in 1:56. Gettinmystepsin wound up third.

Linda Toscano trains Bare My Soul, a daughter of Chapter Seven bred by Kentuckiana Farms LLC., for owners Richard Gutnick, Tom Pontone, Joe Lozito Jr., and Enviro Stables Ltd. Bare My Soul has now won three times from 13 career starts, she has pocketed $165,252, and she paid $2.50 to win as the 1-5 favorite.

In the other $81,000 tilt Little Pink Lies (Svanstedt) carved out panels of 28 4/5, 59 1/5, and 1:28 2/5, then trotted a 27 4/5 final kicker to down pocket-sitter Cash Infusion (Zeron) by half a length in 1:56 1/5. In A Tiny Way (Tyler Buter) was the third-place finisher.
