Troy Johnson and Maritza Weston’s Win N Your In will leave her native Florida and head to Aqueduct Racetrack for Saturday’s $125,000 Ruthless, a seven-furlong test for five 3-year-old fillies.

A two-time stakes winner last year, Win N Your In makes the second start of her sophomore campaign after finishing third behind winner Dancing Magic in the $82,000 Gasparilla going seven furlongs at Tampa Bay Downs on Jan. 11.

Last year the daughter of Ocala Stud’s Win Win Win, the leading freshman in Florida last year, won two stakes including the $200,000 Susan’s Girl, the seven-furlong second leg in the filly division of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association Florida Sire Stakes on Oct. 19 at Gulfstream.

 

The Carlos David trainee also won the $95,000 Sharp Susan going six furlongs at Gulfstream in her third career start on Aug. 10.

 

Win N Your In will be looking to improve on her solid career record of three wins and three thirds in seven starts with earnings of $233,950.

She was a $12,000 purchase by Johnson on the advice of bloodstock agent Charles Weston at the 2023 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Winter Mixed Sale where she was consigned by Francis and Barbara Vanlangendonck’s Summerfield.

Ruben Silvera will ride Win N Your In for the first time Saturday and they have post one.

Win N Your In should be among the favorites along with Moonlit Drive and Hollywood Beauty.

Moonlit Drive won her only career race on Jan. 10, defeating maiden special weight fillies by a neck going six furlongs at Aqueduct for trainer Michelle Nevin. A homebred for Samantha Siegel’s Jay Em Ess Stable, Moonlit Drive earned $44,000.

Moonlit Drive is by Quality Road out of By the Moon, by Indian Charlie and will be ridden from post four by Manny Franco.

Hollywood Beauty enters the Ruthless off an eight-and-a-half-length triumph in the $75,000 Parx Future Stars Fillies Division Stakes going seven furlongs over a sloppy and sealed track at Parx Racing on Dec. 30. That was her first start for trainer Marya Montoya and owner Albert R. Lupcho Jr after winning one of four starts with one third for previous connections. She broke her maiden on debut at Parx Racing in June and was third in the $201,000 Sorority won by Florida-bred Social Fortress at Monmouth Park in August.

Mychel Sanchez gets the return mount on Hollywood Beauty and they have drawn the outside post five.

Ourdaydreaming Girl with jockey Paco Lopez and Volleyballprincess with rider Eliseo Ruiz round out the field.
