ELLA MICHELLE A WINS FRIDAY NIGHT 44G DISTAFF DERBY

Ella Michelle A stuffed both Amateur Hour and Clear Idea in behind, while 3-2 favorite Itty Bitty was forced to retreat after she too, tried leaving.

Meanwhile, Ella Michelle A had nary an issue (27.4, 57, 1:25.4, 1:55.1), with Clear Idea faltering after a weak second move. Ella Michelle A had a couple of lengths in and out of the final turn before winning by three. Culinary Delight N offered late lane pace to get second, with a tough-trip Itty Bitty, 53-1 rank outsider Made of Jewels AS and Amateur Hour settling for the minors.

For second choice Ella Michelle A, a now 8 year old Down Under daughter of Cammibest owned and trained by Chris Scicluna, it was a winning seasonal debut. The exacta paid $89.50, the triple returned $324.50 and the superfecta paid $2,896.
