If first impressions matter in this sport, Louies Girl N, a 6-year-old imported pacing mare, has the makings of a superstar. A demonstrative performance in the opening round of the MGM Ursula McIntyre Pacing Series at MGM Yonkers Raceway on March 27 marked the arrival. Now, driver Jason Bartlett hopes her winning ways continue in round two this Friday, with the Per Engblom trainee landing post six in one of four $50,000 divisions. "She's got an incredible burst of speed when you tip her out," said Bartlett of the mare he's been driving with regularity. "She's not a big mare and she fits this track (Yonkers) perfectly." Louies Girl N was raced patiently in the opening leg of the series, with Bartlett allowing the formidable Rocket Deo to dictate the pace. Following a relaxed 56 4/5 first-half, it appeared as if Rocket Deo would have the advantage in a final- half sprint, but those hopes were dashed almost instantly when Bartlett asked Louies Girl N to respond on the backstretch. "That was a great mare she went around," said Bartlett, who had driven Rocket Deo a week earlier and was speaking from experience. Louies Girl N would flash a 28 second final quarter to seal the victory. On Friday, Louies Girl N faces six rivals, including Rocket Deo (post three) in the fifth race and first of the four divisions. Now undefeated in eight starts since coming to North America, there is obviously untapped potential. "I've never pulled the earplugs yet," said Bartlett, reflecting on Louies Girl N's power in reserve that she's indicated. "Even in the race at Pocono that she won (by a neck), she did it on her own, and she scoped sick that day." While her round-one victory was impressive, the McIntyre Series is made up of five preliminary legs before the final, and this week's second round could be more difficult with the outside draw and a few more top mares to her inside. In addition to Rocket Deo, the division includes Always Bstunning N, a solid third-place finisher in round one. Always Bstunning N is a 7-year-old by Always B Miki that won 12 races in 2025 and landed post four on Friday. ► Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter Last year Bartlett guided another daughter of Always B Miki named Aardie B Miki N to capture the final of this series when it was titled the Blue Chip Matchmaker. Aardie B Miki N returned for a chance to repeat in this year's edition and was a solid second to Coastal Babe N in the first leg. "I was very happy with her effort," said Bartlett of the Per Engblom-trained 6-year-old. "She was coming off three weeks out, and she had a breathing issue that had to be corrected."  Aardie B Miki N has won three of her seven starts this year and drew on the outside (post seven) in Friday's third division and seventh race. Bartlett was pleased the way Aardie B Miki N was able to leave the gate, and that may be something he needs to consider again this week. Coastal Babe N once again has the post advantage over last year's series champion, and the daughter of Downbytheseaside looks for her second straight leg from the pole with Yannick Gingras in the bike. A winner in three of her four starts in North America for trainer Jared Bako, Coastal Babe N has won 12 of her 24 career starts. Bartlett did find at least one favorable draw in Friday's quartet of McIntyre divisions, with Huntress landing the pole position in the final $50,000 stanza carded as race eight. A 7-year-old mare by Huntsville, Huntress makes her Yonkers return for trainer Virgil Morgan Jr. following a pair of qualifiers at the Meadowlands. "I thought she was great in both qualifiers," said Bartlett. On March 21, Huntress set all the fractions and won in 1:51 4/5, turning back Bath Bomb, a mare she'll meet again on Friday. In her second qualifier on March 28, she cruised in 1:53 2/5, pacing home in 27 4/5. "That was a pretty good last quarter considering how windy it was," said Bartlett. Huntress will face a solid group of mares, with first-leg winner Tick A Loch A (post five) and first-leg runner-up Tarapasta (post six) a pair that figure to be threats in the series. Tick A Loch A has been first or second in six of her seven starts this season. Tarapasta lost her action briefly at the quarter-pole, sacrificing position in her first-leg performance. The Travis Alexander-trained mare recovered nicely but was up against it, pacing into a 55 2/5 final half-mile posted by race winner Seaside Diva. Speaking of Seaside Diva, the Ron Burke-trained mare looks to repeat her effort from the first round in Friday's sixth race division. The 25-time career winner drew the pole position in a field of six and may have to work a bit harder than the 29 second opening quarter she needed a week ago to seize control of this race. Walkin On Sunshine (post four) had to take an early tuck in her division in last week's first leg of the series, and that made it difficult for her to track down Coastal Babe N. A multi-leg winner in this series a year ago, Walkin On Sunshine looks to regain winning form as well. First post for Yonkers Raceway's 10-race Friday program is listed at 6:45 p.m. (EDT).
