Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 31 Journalists Posted October 31 7th-Churchill Downs, $116,774, Msw, 10-31, 2yo, f, 7f, 1:24.23, ft, 5 1/4 lengths. PAIGE TURNER (f, 2, Army Mule–Sophia Mia, by Pioneerof the Nile) drew in from the also-eligible list and made the most of the chance here as the 8-5 favorite. Stalking the dueling leaders as Raspberry (Medaglia d'Oro) pushed the tempo through :22.63 and four furlongs in :46.32, Paige Turner was the looming danger via the grandstand side as she swooped in to take command passing the furlong marker. In hand in the final sixteenth, she strolled home to win by 5 1/4 lengths as Raspberry held on to second. This effort comes on the back of her runner-up debut Aug. 31 at Saratoga where she tried valiantly to run down Lovely Christina (Vekoma), but came short by 1 3/4 lengths of that even-money favorite. The victress is a half-sister to 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Speed Boat Beach (Bayern), GISW, $504,850 and a placed 3-year-old named La Fantastica (Volatile). Paige Turner is the most recent to the races for Sophia Mia, a daughter of SW & MGSP Amie's Dini (Bandini). The mare has a yearling filly by Not This Time as well as a 2025 Elite Power colt. She went to Constitution for 2026. Sales history: $350,000 2yo '25 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $89,300. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
