Alexa Skye completes Miami Valley three-peat with 1:49.4 mile

At 0h15, on March 3, 2023 By MIAMI VALLEY

Alexa Skye completed a three-peat in the weekly Miami Valley Mares Open on Thursday (March 2) and she did it in style. The 6-year-old daughter of Somebeachsomewhere paced the second fastest mile by a female in the track’s 10-year history, missing the great Shartin N’s 1:49.3 Grand Circuit track record performance in 2018 by one-fifth of a second.

In a scratched down compact field of five, Alexa Skye wasted no time assuming control of the $26,000 feature race. Driver Trace Tetrick sent the winner on a gate-to-wire mission from the get go. Alexa Skye and Tetrick sped through uncontested fractions of :26.1, :54.2 and 1:21.4 before completing their journey with a :28 final quarter that included no discernable urging on Tetrick’s part.

In The Spotlight N (Tyler Smith) was second and Grace Rocks (Dan Noble) got the show dough.
