Avalon Racing Stable's Witchy Vibes (f, 2, Epicenter–That Voodoo Youdo, by Speightstown) became champion Epicenter (Not This Time)'s second winner with a debut victory at Monmouth Park Sunday. The 4-5 favorite was pressed by Philly Ruckus (Nashville) through an opening quarter in :22.70. She was briefly headed by that foe at the top of the lane, but battled back to be in front as the half went up in :46.81 and she was inching away to the wire to score by 1 1/2 lengths. Philly Ruckus was second and Quality Spring (Essential Quality) was third. The time for the five furlongs was :59.68.
The winner's dam has also produced Opry (Declaration of War), GSW, $361,087; and Candace O (Declaration of War), GSP, $154,452; as well as MSP Gris Gris (Spring At Last). She was bred to Practical Joke the last two years, but Witchy Vibes is her most recent reported foal.
