MAGIC FORCES WINS FRIDAY 44G DISTAFF DERBY
Odds-on from an assigned pole, Magic Forces was away third. She then zipped past Sell a Bit N (Jordan Stratton), taking over just before a 27-second opening quarter-mile.
When Sell a Bit N backing away and only serious challenger Medusa (Brian Sears) having to work from first-over, Magic Forces had few issues finishing it off (56, 1:23.2, 1:51...smashing the track record for her 4-year-old mare weight class).
The previous number in the clubhouse (1:51.3) was shared by Rocklamation (2012), Venus Delight 2014, Cinamony (2015) and Tessa Seelster (2016).
Magic Forces whipped Medusa by 2 1/4 angst free lengths. Bronze Over N (Brent Holland) closed for third, with Mach it a Par (Jason Bartlett) and Sell a Bit N settling for the minors.
