Morosita Bi (Equinox Bi) picked up where she left off last season on Friday night when she scored a victory in the $9,000 featured race at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.
The claiming trotter of the year for her level in '14, Morosita Bi sat out the majority of the winter but made her return in style on Friday.
The lone mare of the race, Morosita Bi brushed up along frontrunning Pocket Passer (Jordan Derue) around the final turn and cruised by in the final strides.
After the race's odds-on favorite Teach Me To Bucky made a break at the start, Pocket Passer powered up to the lead and held it throughout before giving way late to the 19-1 shot Morosita Bi.
The five year old mare beat the boys for driver Austin Siegelman and trainer Chris Marino.
Live racing continues on Saturday evening with a first post time set for 6:45pm.
