SHEZZA GNP N ONE OF FRIDAY NIGHT'S WOMEN'S WINNERS

A $23,000 event saw a pocketed-from post position No. 2-Shezza GNP N just prevail over a hard-charging, 71-1 I Wish You Well in 1:54.4. The margin was a head. It was 41-1 Blush Hanover rallying for third, while pace-setting 26.2, 55.2, 1:24.2 Bellatricks faded to fourth...though beaten just three-quarters of a length.

Betabcool N picked off the final pay envelope, while 6-5 choice American Empress N was hung for her troubles and backpedaled to last.

For second choice Shezza GNP N, a 6-year-old Down Under daughter of Art Major owned and trained by Peter Tritton, it was her third win 13 seasonal starts. The exacta paid $368.50, the triple returned $2,681 and the superfecta paid $22,930.
