Still, she outran a pretty fast Mott horse and the Jerkens runner ( prior to that one breaking down ). However, I will be curious to see if she is rated as they stretch out in probably her next start.
In other words....I don't know what to make of her. She's certainly done nothing wrong and does seem to have a lot of maturing to do. She probably has as much potential as just about anyone right now.

They obviously like her and she is an intriguing filly for stretching out....her dam was a graded stakes winner going two-turns and ran in the Kentucky Oaks a few years ago, so you believe she'd at least get a mile....Also, her second dam is by Alleged, which reaffirms that thought....FuPeg is usually sprinter/miler but he has been versatile to the mare's offerings and this filly should get two-turns...she alos has the look and style that would givce you that impression.....not sure HOW far she'll go around two turns, but she should not balk at the BC Juvy Fillies distance of 1 1/16 miles if they get her there....Asmussen has never given $2 million for a horse at auction IN HIS LIFE with all the horses he's bought and trained - so it should be clear that he thought he was replacing Summerly in the regard of attempting to find another Oaks contender...
Boy, the FuPeg/Meadowlake mare cross is pretty darn solid, as it also produced top 2YO Pegasus Wind from the Lukas barn....
