Although it wasn’t as easy, Alexa Skye did it again. The six-year-old daughter of Somebeachsomewhere continued her domination of the Miami Valley Mares Open Pace in Thursday's $27,000 edition.
Driver Trace Tetrick took no prisoners as Alexa Skye seems to like leaving the gate as much as needed and then settling in to a futile game of “catch me if you can” for her foes. On this occasion, Wildcat Victoria gave her all she wanted as they sped down the home stretch, but fell a quarter-length short in 1:51. Velocity Lady, Trick Of The Light and Lee Loo also had closing kick but Alexa Skye would not be denied.
Virgil Morgan Jr. trains Alexa Skye for the Let It Ride Stable and Bottom Line Racing. In 2023 alone, she has a scorecard that reads nine starts with five wins, two place and two show finishes—good for earnings of $90,000.
Southwest Ohio top mares who have been chasing Alexa Skye for over a month will get a respite next week as the winner has agreed to take a week or two off, or move to another venue.
Miami Valley is dark on Fridays and Saturdays, but will resume the normal Sunday through Thursday schedule on March 26. Post time is always 4 p.m. (EDT).
