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'..
