PENN NATIONAL DERBY* - 8F - G2+
Win: Flashpoint (two lengths)
Place: Sophie's Voice (nose)
Show: Alucard
4th: Akumabuelle
This race was odd simply because there was no clear front runner and all of these horses have forwardish running styles. So Akumabuelle broke the fastest and ended up on the lead, although her jockey was desperately trying to get her to drop back a bit for the first four furlongs of the race. At about a half mile Alucard was running right along side her and then he got out on the lead around six furlongs into the race. Flashpoint put in a powerful bid on the outside that was almost a near match to that of his half sister Paranormal Hunter, and once he got rolling he never looked back. Sophie's Voice and Alucard duked it out till they hit the wire and Sophie's Voice nabbed second by a nose.
