ALEXA'S POWER WINS FRIDAY NIGHT 44G DISTAFF DERBY
Making the first lead from assigned post position No. 2, Alexa's Power gave it up to Lispatty before playing leapfrog on the lead.
"Alexa" controlled the race 27.3, 57.1, 1:25.1, 1:53.2, taking minimal first-up pressure from Queen Josephine, while 13-10 favorite Glenferrie Blade A went wide to nowhere around that one.
Alexa's Power owned a length-and-a-quarter lead into the lane, then outgamed Lispatty by a half-length. Twinkle offered decent foot at both ends for third, while Glenferrie Blade A and Oceania settled for the remainder.
For second choice Alexa's Power, a 4-year-old daughter of Somebeachsomewhere co-owned by Jeff & Michael Snyder and trained by Jim Campbell, it was her first win in six seasonal starts (career earnings over $600,000). The exacta paid $51, the triple returned $172.50 and the superfecta paid $488
