Here Comes Rita splashed her way to a 2-length win over Point Me to It in the $81,825 Montauk Handicap for New York-bred fillies and mares on Sunday at Aqueduct. The 3-year-old extended her winning streak to three, overcoming the elements on a sloppy, rain-soaked track. The time was 1:54.40 for the 1 1-8 miles.
