By Leann Noguera, StallioneSearch

TULSA, OK–JUNE 20, 2026–Collective Power lived up to her billing Saturday night as the heavy favorite at Fair Meadows, leading from start to finish to win the $15,000 APHA Maiden Stakes.

Breaking from the outside post under jockey Roman Cruz, Collective Power quickly established command and never surrendered the advantage, holding off a determined challenge from Jess Hot Mess to win the 330-yard race by one length. She stopped the clock in 17.214 seconds while earning an 88 speed index.

Trained by Dee Keener for owners/breeders Lloyd Yother and Garvan Kelly, Collective Power returned $3.60 as the wagering favorite. The Oklahoma-bred filly is double registered APHA/AQHA out of Power Fade by Painted Turnpike.

The daughter of leading third-year sire Uncle D was coming off a third-place finish in her trial to the Grade 1 Speedhorse Graham Paint & Appaloosa Futurity at Remington Park. Saturday's victory marked her first career win from three starts and boosted her earnings to $11,942.

Jess Hot Mess finished second under jockey Cordarelton J. Benn for trainer Luz Chavira and owner EEK Equine. The Texas-bred daughter of Ali Babe Foose is out of Jess A Sweetie, by Apollitical Jess, and was bred by Chad Hart. She has earned $4,173 from four starts.

Amplified Kool 918 completed the trifecta after overcoming an awkward start. The Dee Keener trainee rallied into contention before holding third under Mario Delgado. Owned by 918 Bloodstock, the daughter of Painted Turnpike entered the race off a third-place effort in the PSBA American Paint Classic Futurity at Remington Park and added another stakes placing to her career stats.

The finish marked her fourth third-place effort from five starts and pushed her earnings to $15,702.  Bred in Oklahoma by Jay Ross, Amplified Kool 918 is by Painted Turnpike and out of Kool Jess, by One Sweet Jess.

Completing the order of finish were Rp Miss Wiredreckless in fourth, El Chismoso and Tc Poise N Ivy in a dead-heat for fifth, Spittin Ap Curl in seventh, Turbo Boost in eighth, and Scoutsalilreckless in ninth.
