SWLY's TG#/Girls Pearls
 

McPeek and wife run back 'Girls Pearls', who bested Sumwonlovesyou a week ago Sunday, today in Churchill's feature which includes Awesome Ashley. (A quick turnaround in my view, but that's Kenny's problem, though I imagine she must be kicking the stall down for him to bring her back on 11 days rest..)

More importantly, I hadn't had a chance to communicate Sumwonlovesyou's Thoro-Graph figure from the race last week.. She got a 10.. Girl's Pearls' a 9.5. It's a very nice figure for our gal, and obviously a big 'new top'...

Girls Pearls by 3 over Awesome Ashly

Impressive run by her coming 4 wide and passing the favorite in the stretch. Positive sign for our girl...

Oh boy! We better watch were we put our Girl...

I am kicking myself for not checking this subforum out this morning. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

BINGO!
Had the exacta...look out next start for "Sumwon" !!!

Double bingo, had the trifecta! :)

She had the perfect rail trip last time, this time laid off and came wide and closed strong ... look out for Sumwon next time!

or did you really forget:p

LOL - I really blanked, Wing :D

I had 1-5-6-9 boxed for a tri, didn't even think to box a super - ARG! But the racing gods owe me a little back after my Derby contributions, I think :)

Girls Pearls looked pretty darn good.

I didn't have the PP's and just keyed the favorite over those 3 horses
I spent less money but didn't win

I think Sumwon moves up because Chuck and Steve said she won't be available for a tag long before Girls Pearls won today's $50k allowance race.
Hopefully the claiming race wasn't just a workout for today's race. :cool:

Steve, I saw her sheet in the red board room at TG the day after her race... she had worked her way down to a 15, then you purchased her, she ran an 18 on the turf, came back on somewhat short rest:) , and then ran the 10. Interesting pattern, to say the least.:cool:

I'm surprised the turf effort was an 18 (I would have thought it higher) ... have to remember to get her TG sheets next time. Thanks for that.

T2D, 2nd off break, dropping down/cutting back.. A masterstroke by Chuck. Turns out we ran into something good in the McPeek...

Am I a masterstroker?

if so, shouldn't you keep that to yourself?

a stroker should but a master stroker....

Sumwon's last race just seems to look better and better. Great job again, Chuck. We may have a nice one here.

Wow , Girls Pearls really surprised me today. I thought she really benefited from that golden rail trip last out. She was oh so impressive today ! Can we say Key Race ! Go Sumwon !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I have her TG sheet saved on my computer, but I have no idea how to post it:confused:
