New York-sired juvenile fillies chase big bucks in $500K NYSSS Fifth Avenue

A field of 11 will assemble with aspirations to give their bankroll a massive boost in Saturday’s $500,000 NYSSS Fifth Avenue for eligible New York-sired 2-year-old fillies going seven furlongs at Aqueduct Racetrack.
Leading the charge is Deuce Greathouse, Cindy Hutson and Brett Setzer’s Les Bon Temps, who will attempt to let the good times roll following a last out 13-1 upset in the Maid of the Mist on October 30 at Belmont at the Big A. The Mike Maker-trained daughter of Laoban made her debut for her current conditioner when third in the Joseph A. Gimma in September, finishing 2 1/2 lengths in arrears of Gambling Girl. For previous trainer Norm Casse, Les Bon Temps was a winner on debut going five furlongs in May over a sloppy and sealed Churchill Downs main track.
Bred in the Empire State by Southern Equine Stables, Les Bon Temps is out of the unraced Tapizar mare Winsanity – a half-sister to stakes-winner Ready Signal.
Les Bon Temps will be piloted by Jose Lezcano from post 1.
