Career start 149 saw just-over-even-money favorite Regil Elektra (Jordan Stratton) lead early in the $25,000 finale, before yielding to eventual winner Mach It A Par (Jason Bartlett).
Regil Elektra did end up the bridesmaid, the $6,250 pay envelope increasing her lifetime loot to $1,001,978.
The 8-year-old daughter of Mach Three, owned by Fred Monteleone Stable and trained by Keith Armer, has a record of 44 wins, 27 seconds and 15 third-place finishes.
His win in the finale was one of a Bartlett quintet during the 10-race card.
