While no one was looking, Ken McPeek slipped Girls Pearls to Prarie Meadows Saturday and glommed a Stakes win...

I saw that in the TDN but thought someone must have mentioned it by now.

I'd forgotten she was going there until just now when I was looking up a chart from yesterday at Lone Star...

Did they risk her for a tag when she ran against Sumwon? I can't remember what Pearl's PP's looked like going in, but did she race much better than they had expected or was this an example of someone (McPeek in this instance) taking a gamble that the horse doesn't get claimed for a confidence booster?

I know it sounds captain obvious, but what a great case of what you can pick up from the Claiming ranks if you've got a good eye.

Broke maiden for $40k in race before the $50k claimer in which she faced Sumwon.. Yet another compliment for our daughter of Came Home & 'Molly'..

Is PrM still an option for our next start if the Monmouth race comes up tough?

I figured that but if a few start at Mth we know would be tough to beat would it make sense to gamble on a 200K purse and Grade III status with a start in Iowa or is that off the table and she's just not good enough at this point?

Nice placement by McPeek. Nice win for a nice filly.

I don't see us in a G3 in Iowa, myself (although getting to see Wing shave his head and other body parts would be extremely tempting ); off course I'll wait and see where Chuck and you think Sumwon will do well next out, doesn't matter to me - so far, very good!

Sumwon needs to win her next one, get a good hunk of money in her account.

I think $120,000 is a nice number.

now stop right there. no one said parts. I said my back.
I don't think I have to worry about it. But don't you think it would be worth it?

Too bad there aren't any $50k stake races at Fairmont Park
it would be an easy drive

eh, she'll probably be in New York and not the run down bus station known as Farimont. I wouldn't want to get lost on the backside of that dump.

Lawyer Ron wasn't too good for it... although that was for $200K.

Jman, I like that Ellis Park idea. Sumwon could go there and find a soft spot, then roll right into the Gardenia.
