Shes All Woman mounted a monstrous middle move and vanished from her seven foes in Monday's $100,000 Delaware Standardbred Breeders' Fund series final for three-year-old trotting fillies at Bally's Dover, capping a series sweep with a decisive 1:58.3 win.

Saddled with the outside post in the field of eight, Victor Kirby took his time with the 2-5 favourite, floating her into midfield while Just Pump It (driven by Art Stafford Jr.) and Miss Timber Wolf (Kim Vincent) sparred for the lead through a :28.4 first quarter. As Just Pump It — who yielded on the first turn before retaking with a lap to go — backed the half to :59, Shes All Woman began her uncovered blitz to the fore, sweeping from fifth with a lap to go to a 2-1/2 length lead at three-quarters in 1:28.3.

The Anders Bluestone-Wark Woman filly steadily widened her advantage on the far turn, leading by 6-1/2 lengths at the eighth pole before Kirby geared her down to a 5-1/4-length score over Miss Timber Wolf, who re-rallied to save second from the tiring Just Pump It.

John Wagner trains 17-time winner Shes All Woman, who has banked $294,780 in her career for owner-breeder Pamela Wagner. The win gave Shes All Woman her third DSBF series title; she swept the 2022 series for three-year-olds at Harrington Raceway in the summer and also won the Dover series for two-year-olds in November 2021.
