Song From Above wins at Alameda County Fair
[...] Song From Above had nine weeks between her 1-length debut win against male opponents April 29 and her 3-length triumph over fellow fillies Saturday.
Two of the workouts were at 6 furlongs — a 16th of a mile longer than the 5½-furlong Juan Gonzalez Memorial — so Specht and jockey Frank Alvarado knew she was plenty fit.
[...] Song From Above proved she’s a talented filly Saturday with a nice inside move past the leaders to take command in early stretch.
Earlier on Saturday’s program, Senorita stretched her winning streak to eight with a front-running victory by 1¼ lengths in the $5,800 Black Ruby Stakes for mules. …
Among his opponents in the 6-furlong Independence Day feature are Grade 3 winner Rocket Heat, who returned from a layoff to set the pace and finish third in the Albany Stakes on June 10 at Golden Gate Fields, and Yahoo Tahoe, who rallied to win two straight $40,000 claimers.
