Such an exciting race. She showed alot of grit at the end of that race and it seemed as if she was coming back at the winner. Thrilled. Thank to Steve, Hooves, Chuck and his crew. Great job.

I'll be damned.
She set very tough fractions and hung tough till the end. A very encouraging run. What a tough girl. I thought for sure she was going to fade badly and she just did not quit. Good Girl dammit!

Same here. Girls Pearls appeared to get a dream trip, and when she ran by Sumwon, I figured that Sumwon might get discouraged and spit the bit, but not at all. She fought back, game as can be, and ended up well clear of third.

Looks like she's sitting on a win!

I'm *horse* from screaming. What a thrilling race. She looked wonderful. AND, I hope y'all won some money betting on her. Thank you Chuck and your staff for all your hard work. You have to be very proud. Thanks you Steve, as well, for all your help and hard work in this venture.

Now - please don't anyone tell me she was claimed!

First thing sniper did is download the chart to make sure she wasn't (he printed it and posted it on the fridge for all to see too)

I was out there today and saw the race. Wow! I was super impressed with the game effort. Great job of the connections getting the right spot. She hung tough. Really a knockout looking filly. Got to see her post race up close. I was really excited for you guys. The 9.80 place money I got was very nice. Congrats to all involved!!

I like the thought of an optional claiming start. Really hope we keep her for a big start at the Spa...

Feelin like we are in good hands with Chuck at the helm...

Time was over a second faster than the same race yesterday for the boys. Hard to say whether the track is that much faster today or not but pretty impressive nonetheless.

Considering how clear she was of third, I think the figure will come back pretty quick.

The McPeek filly that won the race won a pretty good maiden claiming race at Keeneland in her last start. Absolutely no shame in running a nice second to her, especially since the winner had such a good trip.
There were some other nice fillies in here as well, and your girl defeated them easily.
Very nice effort. Congratulations to all involved with her.

Hard to say this early but I think she'll certainly Beyer in the 70s and the winner might even push 80.
