Friday Feature

Chris White's Fashion Showdown picked up her second straight win in the featured harness racing event on Friday from Harrah's Philadelphia.

 

It was a pace for upper-level conditioned filly & mare pacers going for a purse of $22,000.

 

The 5-year-old daughter of Village Jolt immediately went for the lead, and was able to set comfortable fractions early on.

 

The Monteleone Stable's Regil Elektra (Brett Miller), who was making her season's debut after a solid 2014 campaign, was able to maintain a pocket presence the entire mile.

 

Race favorite Gallie Bythe Beach (Tim Tetrick) was making her second start of the season, after nearly banking $200,000 in her 3-year-old campaign.

 

Her effort today was similar to last weeks, as she was able to make only minor first over headway. She tailed off to finish fifth.

 

Fashion Showdown (Corey Callahan) was able to hold off the mild stretch bid of Regil Elektra to win by a little over a length, stopping the clock in 1:51 flat, which was a season's best.

 

She now has eight wins on the year, and eleven overall out of twenty-seven career starts.

 

The Craig Mc Innis trainee returned $6.40 to win.
