Honor A. P.’s Margie’s Intention Guts It Out In Black-Eyed Susan

[Wandering Eyes]

Making her first appearance since an ownership interest was purchased by WinStar Farm, Louisiana-bred MARGIE'S INTENTION (f, 3, Honor A. P.–Playful Dancer, by Into Mischief) came after long-time leader Paris Lily (City of Light) deep inside the final furlong and outslugged her rival to take Friday's GII Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico, a race delayed by about an hour and 15 minutes by an afternoon storm that triggered a shelter-in-place warning from track officials. Sent off the 5-2 favorite and trying open company for the first time in her young career, Margie's Intention was beaten for speed and settled third last and inside into the first turn as Paris Lily was hounded along through opening splits of :22.73 and :46.38. Margie's Intention continued to chart an inside course and made steady progress to race on the back of the leader approaching the half-mile and was under a vigorous ride from Flavien Prat passing the three-eighths. Pulled out with every chance turning for home. Margie's Intention took aim in Paris Lily, who held the lead into the final eighth of a mile, but the latter jumped off onto her incorrect lead with about a sixteenth of a mile left to race and Margie's Intention was able to seal the deal. She becomes the first winner at the graded level and third stakes winner overall for Lane's End's Honor A. P. Sales history: $57,000 Ylg '23 FTKOCT; $185,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 6-3-2-0. O-Baron Stable & WinStar Farm; B-Coteau Grove Farm LLC (LA); T-Brad Cox.
