Sumwon did have a tactical edge (pace wise) on Girls Pearls the day they met.
Sumwon was aided by the 46.28 half mile, by comparison claiming males went 45.02 at the same distance later on in the card--and the final time of the males race was 0.32 seconds slower.
While Girls Pearls wasn't far off in 5th place after a half mile, as you know, slow fractions tend to work against closers, even if they can secure a decent spot not far off of them.
Perhaps a little more favorable pace situation caused GP to run a real nice number and upset that alw race at 8/1 next out.
Still, Sumwon is razor sharp off her last two races, and very few kind of horses can positively surprise like a sharp 3yo filly can. I hope she stays sharp and breezes through the alw condition for you guys...and than you can really entertain the ideas of finding a spot to take a stab at some black type, and enhance the broodmare value. That would be sweet.
