NEWBORN SASSY WINS FRIDAY NIGHT 44G DISTAFF DERBY

Remanded outside her six rivals, Newborn Sassy was caught wide early, eventually settling in fourth. While this was transpiring, Lispatty (Mark MacDonald) worked around Frost Damage Blues (Brian Sears) before a 26.4 opening quarter mile.

After a 56.1 intermission, Sassy was moving again, engaging Lispatty in and out of a 1:24.1 three-quarters. She finished off that foe early in the lane, then widened. Frost Damage Blues did slip out behind the eventual winner, with she and a bottled up till late Mach it a Par (Jason Bartlett)cosmetically closing the margin.

Newborn Sass defeated Frost Damage Blues by a length and three-quarters in 1:53.1, with Mach it a Par, Lispatty and Angel's Pride (George Brennan) settling for the remainder.

For Newborn Sassy, a 5 year old daughter of Western Ideal owned by CC Racing &Joann Looney-King and trained by Jim King Jr., it was her eighth win in 26 seasonal starts (fourth in last six tries, career earnings over $985,000). The exacta paid $18.40, the triple returned $69.50 and the superfecta paid $175.
