TULSA, OK—JULY 18, 2026—Collective Power continued her outstanding juvenile campaign Saturday night, holding off a determined challenge from Js Paint Me Fanci to capture the $83,104 Speedhorse Paint & Appaloosa Futurity at Fair Meadows.

The Oklahoma-bred bay filly covered 350 yards in 17.878, earning a 90 speed index while prevailing by a neck over her rival. Wf Manfredi finished another head back in third after battling throughout the stretch.
