BETTERB CHEVRON N WINS FRIDAY NIGHT 46G DISTAFF DERBY

Away last-from post position No. 5-among the half-dozen reduced after a defection, Betterb Chevron N saw Wisdom Tree and Reclamation alternate up front, the latter grabbing the lead before a 26.3 opening quarter-mile.

It was a 55.3 intermission before D G's Elsa make a weak bid from fourth. That forced Betterb Chevron N wide early before a 1:23.4 three-quarters.

Reclamation owned a length lead in and out of the final turn. Wisdom Tree edged off the cones, about to win the battle but lose the war. Wisdom Tree picked off Reclamation, but could not stall the people's preference.

Betterb Chevron N prevailed by a length in 1:53.2. Wisdom Tree did snatch second, with Reclamation, Lispatty and Angel's Pride settling the remainder.
