R Angel Katelyn ($2.40) had to work harder to win Wednesday’s $50,000 Liza Jane handicap than might be expected of a 1-5 favorite. Nevertheless, the multiple-stakes winner managed to eke out victory by a half-length in the 6 ½-furlong overnight handicap for 3-year-old fillies.
Owned by Acclaimed Racing, CCF Racing Stable and K Lauren Racing, R Angel Katelyn pressed pacesetter Faith N Hope along the backstretch and around the far turn before taking the lead on the turn into the homestretch. The daughter of High Cotton was kept to a drive by jockey Edgard Zayas throughout the stretch run as Faith N Hope hung tough under Gerardo Corrales. Brahms Cat finished 2 ½ lengths farther back in third.
R Angel Katelyn, who ran 6 ½ furlongs in 1:17.52 while carrying high weight of 123 pounds over a sloppy track, collected her fourth stakes win and sixth overall victory in nine starts.
