Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 26, 2024 Journalists Share Posted October 26, 2024 'TDN Rising Star' LONG NECK PAULA (f, 2, Uncle Mo–Take Charge Paula, by Take Charge Indy) was pitched in against the boys by trainer Wesley Ward in the $200,000 Bowman Mill Stakes at Keeneland and the gamble paid off, as she held a late charge from Tough Magic (Complexity) to record the second black-type success of her young career. Sent away the 5-2 second favorite exiting a 7 1/2-length victory in the Prairie Meadows Debutante Aug. 23, the $500,000 OBS March graduate hit the ground running and led early, but she was displaced on the front end by favored Macho Music (Maclean's Music), who zipped through an opening quarter in :21.59. Working hard to maintain the lead as they raced into the final three furlongs, Macho Music led into the lane, but he began to feel the pinch, and Junior Alvarado send Long Neck Paula to the front at the eighth pole. Tough Catch was pulled off the fence and into the clear to deliver his challenge, but the wire came first. Sales history: $325,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $500,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 4-3-0-1.
