Alexandra Stakes – Grade II [KYO]
1 1/16 Mile Dirt Stake Purse $200.000 Filly 3 Year Olds.

1st Panentheism Smokey Stover Bejarano R

Steadied into the stalk off a good even pace she stuck her head down and rallied well for a game neck win. Clearly benefited by the seasonal debut she was strong to the line and will go forward into the KYO picture still to be beaten out of the money.

2nd Book Of Aggravation Estero Farms Pennington F

This filly just cant catch a break at this level once again finishing strongly to just get beat. There must be a big win on her radar soon as she gains experience.

3rd Summertime D J C Racing Stables Talamo J

Started slowly but the wide gate speed push soon saw her ridden to the front where she set up quite the advantage before weakening late. The trouble with front running at HRP is that the horses have to be over a length and a half in front to cross over and sometimes that takes just too much out of a horse for them to last home.

4th Red Lucy The Sidley Stud Ortiz I Jr

Battled on for fourth in a good effort but didnt quicken up when asked and will leave her trainer with more questions than answers.
